Triple The Dad

Its Friday, its Summer, and its absolutely gorgeous weather here in suburban Philadelphia. As a result I thought I would pen what I hope is a fun little post about toys. As a Dad of triplets I spend a decent amount of time surrounded by, and playing with, toys. I have some experience in this area, is what I'm saying. The first one compares Legos to Shopkins titled "Shopkins Must Be The Devil."  Hint: Legos win. Don't buy your kids Shopkins. Though the ever wonderful Mrs. Triplet Dad is spot on when she criticized this post for disparaging something my kids love so much. Damn kids. They really are confounding. For instance, I have a son who is totally in love  with the Star Wars characters. Mostly Darth Vader and Kylo Ren. This doesn't differentiate him from pretty much every other almost 5-year-old kids, I realize. What is unique is that he is horrified of the movies, and the bad guys in particular, and hasn't watched more than about 2 minutes of them....

A collection of five places I wasted my time online at this week and you might find interesting as well. Seriously, if you only read these five stories, you'll be alright: The best courses to take at college for critical thinking. Stop complaining about how awful the world is/has become:  Seven reasons the world seems worse than it really is (Good news, its actually pretty awesome). And check out my page on why the good old days weren't always good. Naps may be awesome for your health (duh). RELATED: Too little sleep might make you more likely to get a cold (go to sleep already). Should we tell our kids they are special ?   Maybe not .
