Comment on Six facts about fatherhood from a six-day expert by Scott Bush

Some additional facts I’ve learned in the last few days:

* At 3am, any piece of fabric is a burp cloth* — Doesn’t matter if it’s a napkin, onesie, shirt, blanket, or actual designated burp cloth, any piece of fabric in arms length becomes a spit-up catcher.

* Newborn hats have invisible teflon coating on the inside that prevents them from staying on a newborn’s head* — I can’t see or feel it, but it must be there! What other explanation is there for why these things won’t stay on her head?

Welcome to the club Scott! I’d share more thoughtful facts of fatherhood with you, but I fear you are too sleep deprived to fully absorb them (like a wet diaper).

Instead, I’ll leave you with the classic fatherhood quote: “There are three stages of a man’s life: He believes in Santa Claus, he doesn’t believe in Santa Claus, he is Santa Claus.” — Author Unknown

Did you acquire the appropriate license to post that picture of Donatello?

Comment on Apostrophes have no place in plural acronyms by matt

CM14 6.77 and 6.82 give examples where a non-possessive, plural apostrophe is allowed:

Tim had enough of her “maybe’s.”

Mind your p’s and q’s.

And I would add: Do’s and don’ts.

Comment on The short answer is always “Yes” by Amy Lewis

hmm so the short answer isn’t always yes =)

I actually got this bit of advice at work the other day myself — something along the lines of regardless of the request say ‘yes’ — regardless of the feedback say ‘thank you’

but I think saying ‘yes’ all the time to our spouses might make happy marriages? but always saying ‘yes’ to our children would make for spoiled children ..

@Amy - On that topic I'll have to defer to parents! But I will say that the "Yes" approach to requests from children is probably a recipe for disaster. In a business context, positivity and "yes" work. Children are a whole other ballgame; they need limits and structure in which to grow and learn. You can't tell them "yes" when they ask for a second cookie and then try to reason with them why they can't. Besides, if I did that I must just let them convince me they really do need it!
