What I Learned This Week - 10/24/25

1.  It’s fun to randomly visit my kids and drop pregnancy tests into their bathrooms to cause drama and remind them I’d always find a way to make them understand parenting. #DadThings
2. If you listen to Billy Joel's song, "Piano Man" with the context that the piano man is actually unknowingly playing in a gay bar and all the staff are waiting to see how long it takes him to figure it out, you will absolutely lose it when he sings, "man what are you doing here". #CantUnhearIt

10. No matter what anyone says, you cannot get dried rat gut stains out of a t-shirt. #ItsAPaintingShirtNow
11. I don’t know what occurred in my life that caused waking up feeling well rested feels like a bad omen. #ImSupposedToBeTiredWhatNow

13. I’m hoping this is the year that grocery stores and gas stations get in on the Black Friday craze. #NotLikely
14. According to a coworker, the worst part about getting into a fender-bender is getting out of the car and having to meet a new person. #FeelHisPain
15. Every time I lay down, I can’t believe I ever considered going to bed as punishment. #NotJustMe
16. Things I never thought I’d ask and get a positive response to from my wife, “want to go for a five minute ride to see if we can see a comet for less than a minute?” #WorthEverySecond
