Countdown
Early yesterday morning, I had just finished placing a green egg and sausage casserole in the oven--you parents know why--when the A-Train stumbled out of bed and lurched toward the kitchen. It was 5 a.m., but he saw opportunity, and he seized it.
"Want to play a game of Uno?"
Well, of course I did. After several games of Uno and one game of Chutes and Ladders, I sent the A-Train to check the timer on the microwave. He read me the digits: "two ... zero ... four ... eight ... seven ... six ... four ... two ...one ... zero ... nine ... seven ... six ...."
I was laughing, but quietly, so that his mom would not wake up.
After slightly more than a minute, he announced: "I think that's enough, Dad," and he returned. "Shall we play again?"

I have a fantasy football advice site. It pretty much covers fantasy football advice related stuff, but has blogs and other cool features.

Wow! You ARE superstar dad! I don't even make green eggs for breakfast (but what a good idea... I may steal it).
