"Alright time to go poop in the potty!"
3: That's ok. I'll just poop when I'm napping."
"But if you go poop in the potty just two more times you'll get to have that awesome new car toy you wanted!"
3: "Oh, I already have so many toys. You can give it to someone else."
...what?! He's impervious!
"rather than apply the law to the facts, VanDyke applied his head to the inside of his own ass"
🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
Is it just me or have the #pedneph locums people have been OUT OF CONTROL the last couple weeks?
Giving the kids a kiss goodbye before work this morning:
3: "Daddy please kiss me on my head and not on my mouth. My nose is runny and I don't want to make you runny."
Kid's already got a better grasp on germ theory than our HHS Secretary 😬

3: "Daddy, my bandaid is puh-po!"
Me: "Oh, it's PURR-ple? That's great!"
3: "Actually I can hay it very well. You don't need to teach me."
Well, at least I had already updated my immunization related smartphrases from "...per CDC guidelines" to "...per AAP guidelines" so I don't have to do that all over again
Surprisingly controversial statement in the year of our lord 2026

Me, playing with 1 in the living room:
3, in the kitchen helping make dinner: "I love you daddy but I'm busy. You know I would love to come and play with you but I can't right now."
Have the tables turned? 🤔
3 holds his hands like this after eating, ironically looks like he's just done a sterile scrub and is avoiding contamination 👐🏽
Tell me that you love me, yeah 🎶

It appears their mad food scientists are already very hard at work

I wasn't going to say anything but this wrap is 1.2% sodium by weight. Do we have to draw the line somewhere?
205 g wrap, 450 calories, 2460 mg sodium
Found this monstrosity in the physicians lounge today 😳🧂
UnitedHealth paid AARP $9 billion to sell Medicare products
www.axios.com/2025/10/10/u...
"Critics have questioned whether there's a conflict in AARP lobbying on Medicare issues while it collects large sums from firms selling to Medicare patients."
Well, I can answer that one for you. 🙄
Be like Matt. Shoot us a dime so we can keep the #FOAMed flowing
We were delighted to find out we had a mature peach tree in our yard after we moved in. Third summer in and I'm getting the hang of things. Luckily a bunch of my neighbors love peaches!
