When we were kids, impending sassiness and a sour look on our faces, often brought this Dadism upon us.
“Where’s the Cops” is Dad-speak for “Somebody needs to be arrested for being stupid or dangerous!”
When we behave stupidly, Dad is good at highlighting it with a mild-mannered, non-profane, but well-deserved insult.
“Numbnutz” is often appropriate in times of absent-mindedness, and is one of my favorites.
You remember advent calendars, right?
They’re those boxes you get in December. They have 24 or 25 little doors with a chocolate or toy hiding behind each one. Each day you open one, and agonizingly mark the march towards Christmas day!
Well I had this chocolate Santa, and a box-knife, and got this idea…
Back in 2000, I had a new toy. A 1969 Pontiac Firebird convertible.
Of course it had to be featured in that year’s Christmas card!
Lettering is hard to do by hand, but coloring-in outlines of letters is easy, relaxing and fun.
See how we blended modern technology and old-style handwork to get just the right mix of creative fun and quality.
