Cat's in Pajamas

I know posting embedded videos every day is a lazy way to maintain a blog, and really isn't giving my meager audience much. But when I find something that actually resonates with me, I want to share it.

The video below is funny to me on two different fronts: 1) My dad's favorite song has always been Cat's in the Cradle, or at least that's the one song he always used to get choked up over when we were kids. I never realized, until just recently, that it may've had something to do with the fact that his own dad died when he was relatively young. Or that my dad had another son who didn't live with us and whose life he wasn't allowed to be a part of. I just thought it was my dad being over-emotional over an obviously manipulative ballad based on a nursery rhyme. 2) I have a picture from when Maddie was an infant of me playing something on the PS2 while she sits in my lap, sucking her hand. I never play video games in front of the girls anymore, because the games I'm into recently are too violent and because they always steal the controller, wanting to play whatever I'm playing. But there was definitely a time when I tried to better balance my video game obsession with childrearing. It wasn't easy.

The video's funnier at the beginning than at the end, but I like most of what Dana Snyder and Dave Willis do, and this is no exception.
