Daddy-O

My friend A's husband, dad to wee Daisy, who I've spent some time babysitting, shared a special present with me a couple of weeks ago: a copy of the album he made. It's called Stay At Home Dad and while he says it is just an exercise in silliness, I must say it's a very fine one. I was laughing out loud in my kitchen last night listening to it.

The album is made up of both instrumental and lyrics-filled tunes, with songs like "New House, New Kid, No Job" and "Friday Brunch at the New Yummy Hut."

But my personal favorite would have to be the instrumental tune that samples all of wee Daisy's noisy-ass toys, like Elmo, Leap Frog, and a whole host of other beasties that seem to have minds of their own. It's called "My Daughter's Asshole Friends."
