Slanty.net parenting skills
Besides the obvious benefits of your children providing slave labour when they get old enough (I know Brad’s cabin is giong to be sweet once he has kids), there is stuff like this.
I mean the sheer joy of running up the stairs as you are about to send your kid into 15 years of therapy would be awsome. Then there is that little bit of additional joy you feel after recounting the story to your buddies over beer (again and again and again).
I can’t wait to be a parent. Awww heck, who am I kidding. I am not going to wait that long. I can’t wait to baby sit Ryan

More proof how backwards our priorities are.
Most places in the world, you need to show the authorities that you’re capable of driving a car before they let you behind the wheel of one.
All you need to have a kid is a tear in your condom. No ‘roadtest’. No ‘license’.
Things would be very different if I ruled the world.
And yes, child slave labour would be totally legal, as long as you’d have your kids working on your house–no contracting out.

Does that look staged to you? I mean its cute but I donā??t think it was “real”.
On the other hand I sure could go for some Texas Cheerleaders Massacre right about now… Actually I just want Halloween to get here so I can watch the Charlie Browns Great Pumpkin.
I believe it was real for two reasons:
1. Check out how pissed off the kid was at his dad. Hard for a kid to ‘act’ like that…
2. I’ve seen and heard of people doing things waaaay stupider than waking up children with a chainsaw.
The reasons I thought it was fake is:
1)The opening monolog seems well rehearsed and not the babbling that usually happens on home videos. This could be because the voiced over after it was shot.
2)As a guy, I would have *NEVER* slept in the same bed as my brother no matter how scared I was.
3)Those kids seemed overdressed for being in bed. Neither one of them had a shirt off or were sleeping in their underwear.
Hey man, you said you wouldn’t sleep in the same bed as you brother. I bet the same goes double if you were both naked.
Sleeping together was protection from the boogeyman. Keeping the clothing on was protection from eachother.
i think it was real. my 2 cents. kids wear PJs. sometimes they sleep in the same bed when they’re scared. sometimes they leave the light on when they’re scared. they probably didn’t touch eachother. it was clearly rehearsed on the parents part though.
good lord .. our little man (now 13 months) gets startled just by looking at tall white guys. i can’t imagine his reaction to that wakeup call.
Why are you showing him pictures of tall white guys??
Some sort of weird early indoctrination??
Im curious… how many of you are still in therapy?
They sometimes let me out on day parole….but I have to call in to the hospital every 1/2 hour to let them know where I am.
I was feelin’ fine, so I stopped taking my meds. Why? Is something wrong?
am I still IN therapy?
I am therapy… ask the people I work with!
Like I always say:
“women are easy, state capitals are hard!”
I’ve revised the SlantyNet byline. For now, you can see it proudly displayed on our alternate skin
Slanty.Net, now with a new skin that loads even slower than the old one! =)
I’ve listened to Therapy?
Heard in a tent in Eastern Australia:
“Therapy gets some. And give me back my fucking pillow!”
we don’t show him pictures of tall white guys; just tall white guys that he meets from time to time .. marnie’s brother, her dad’s friend, my boss, her cousin, etc.
although maybe we should show him pictures to get him used to them. those people.
“look evan! it’s a tall white guy!”
