lessons in fatherhood

Labels:

Margo is going to be a great mother. She was a professional nanny for a couple of years, and knows all the ends and outs. She can handle any situation.

I on the other hand, have no clue.

Here are some of things that she has been telling me before we get our son:

  • don't let him play with scissors

  • don't leave him on a table or other high area unattended

  • don't let him stick his finger in an electrical socket

  • don't leave him in the car alone while it is running

  • don't hold him in my lap while driving, like Britney

  • don't serve him a bottle with scalding hot liquid

  • don't allow him to give himself a haircut

  • don't let him operate the blow-dryer in the bathtub

  • don't let him run into the street


    • Most of these are made up, but still. I've managed to stay alive this long, I think I can handle most of those.

    Haha...I didn't think about the hairdryer, the street or haircuts. But those are all good tips. See, you're already thinking like a parent. Just remember, if there is the slightest possible chance they can hurt themselves, they probably will. Curisoty killed the cat because the cat didn't have any parents to tell him, "No,No!!"
