80s Movie Night At The Cynical Dad Household

Bachelor Party

This weekend, I am a bachelor. Ella is taking the kids to see her folks. So what kind of debauchery do I have lined up? Strip clubs? Who am I kidding? Football and beer is about as crazy as I get these days. And unfortunately, I won't be partaking of any of that, either. I'll be handcuffed to my computer, writing code all weekend. Fun stuff!

Porky's

Zoey has started to wear nightgowns occasionally. And while she looks adorable in them, I don't like them too much because they make her look older and I don't want her to grow up. Ever! Anyway, when she wears these nightgowns, she has a tendency to pull the collar down to her waist, baring her chest, as she wiggles her hips. I know she just does this because she knows it bugs me. Or perhaps she's merely practicing for her appearance on an upcoming edition of Girls Gone Wild. Kill me. Now.

Heathers

Zoey went to her eighty-third Pump It Up party since mid-June on Tuesday evening. I kind of enjoy going to these things because that's where I find out what my daughter's been up to at school. Her teachers don't tell me anything. At the last party we attended, I found out she's in a gang. Well, at this party, I found out that their little gang is kind of like the trio in Heathers. They decide who gets to play with them outside. No one goes into their beloved sandbox without their approval. There are also girls in the class they like (or at least, can stomach) and those they don't like. How can you not like someone when you're three years old? What's wrong with her?

My daughter's a Heather. My daughter's a bully. We need to put a stop to this behavior. Fast.

Family Business

So... what do you guys think of DadCentric so far? Just curious. Give me the good, the bad, and the ugly. You can leave a comment or email me. I'm really anxious to know what you guys think.

GHS: 16 (10 for Zoey's upcoming appearance on Girls Gone Wild and 6 for Zoey's Heatherslike traits)
