Franzone Family Blog

I stumbled across this blog post that had me laughing and in stitches. I seriously haven’t read anything this funny in a while. Apprently some guy was overseas and went out to eat at a nice restaurant. His wife informed him that the menu was in English as well. The mangled English translation was so good that the guy bought the menu from the restaurant and then posted pieces of it on his blog with commentary. Absolutely hilarious!

WARNING: There are a few choice NSFC (not safe for children) words mixed in, but it’s not blatantly obscene or anything.

Here is a hilarious video from Mark Gungor on the differences between men’s and women’s brains and how their thought processes differ.

Report: Many U.S. Parents Outsourcing Child Care Overseas

Gavin, my five-year-old son and I were driving home from eating dinner out with the family tonight. He looked up at the sky and said, “Daddy, look at all of those birds.” I looked up and there were dozens of black birds perched up high on the power lines above the highway we were on. I am always interested in what my children find fascinating about the world around them and so I tried to engage him in some conversation about the matter.

“That’s neat.” I replied, “but I wonder how they can sit up there and not get electrocuted.”

He pondered this for a minute and then said, “Yeah, if they did then they’d all burn up and then they would be chicken.”

So my friend and family readers, what is Skype? It is a FREE online phone service that you can use to talk to other users of the Skype service. Pretty cool, eh?

I have three children and we had three coed baby showers. I have friends with children. Yep. Coed baby showers. Guess what. We didn’t want to be there! We? It’s the men I’m referring to. I did some research on the topic and all of the guides and so called etiquette says pretty much the same thing. All written by women I’m sure (yeah, go ahead. Bring on the comments!)

Baby showers that have both men and women attending are growing popularity. Many expectant fathers, male friends, uncles, brothers and soon-to-be grandfathers welcome the chance to be invited to a baby shower. And why shouldn’t they be?

WHAT!? Are you serious? That’s a bunch of woman talk. I’m sorry to offend any of the ladies out there, but I’m a man and I have to represent my fellow man here. In fact this topic came up whilst having lunch with three of my male cohorts this past week and we all agreed… no, we don’t want to be invited to the stinking baby shower!

First, couples baby showers tend to be oriented more around family and friends, talking and catching up than around playing games and indulging in the silly traditions that women tend to do at showers.
