‘Is My Penis Still There? Good’ And Other Thoughts From A Two-Year-Old

I spend my days writing about motherhood and, of course, reading about other women’s experiences. The best is feeling validated when it comes to, say, paying a babysitter to watch your kids so that you can work (never mind that you make less money than the sitter). Or even, I don’t know, choosing sleep over sex. It’s always from the women’s perspective, though, and I often wonder what’s going on inside the elusive daddy brain.

This website by New Jersey writer, comedian and father Jason Good gives us a glimpse into what guys think not just about fatherhood also about their neurotic wives. And, I kid you not, it is laugh-out-loud funny. In fact, Jason Good is my new crush. Here’s a sample of Good’s musings pulled from his 365 BLOG:

Approximately 3 Minutes Inside The Head of My 2 Year Old

Each of these ”emotions” lasts about 3 seconds.

  5. I wanna turn on and off the light on the microwave.
  6. Is there anyone here with a phone I haven’t played with yet?

  31. STOP TAKING OFF MY PANTS!
  32. Wow, I’m starving. I want peas but I don’t know how to tell anyone.

  50. I wanna take a bath in my clothes.
  51. Put on my favorite song.
  52. Where’s the cat?
  53. What is UP with my shirt?
  54. Did I just hear a dog bark?
  55. YOU DID NOT JUST TRY TO TAKE OFF MY SHIRT AGAIN!
  56. I wanna see a dog.
  57. No, not OUTSIDE! I wanna see a dog inside.
  58. Is my penis still there? Good.
  59. I peed.
  60. I’m bored.

Funny stuff. But even better is Good’s more recent post called “3 Hours Inside My Wife’s Brain,” which includes such thoughts as:

“Someone stole my keys. Never mind, here they are.”

“Silas woke up crying at 10pm. I have to call Jason because he’s in the city and there’s nothing he can do about it, but I still want him to know it happened.”

“I need to clean out the corner of my eye with my pinky nail.”

“I think I could have been The Bachelorette.”
