Wednesday, July 30, 2008 --- Like Father - Like Son!

I found some old Super 8 footage from late 1969 of me - Daddy Michael Bridenstine - on the changing table with Mom. Now, 39 years later, we get Nicholas James on the changing table with his Mom. You be the judge? Like Father, like Son? Or should I get the kid DNA tested?

Wednesday, January 2, 2008 --- "You're in Daddy", or more appropriately, "Urine Daddy!"

The Bridenstine Blog would like to make a simple point. Notice how while Mommy gets cute looks while giving tummy kisses [see video below...]

...Daddy gets both puked and pissed on [see picture below...]

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Michael, what's with the ridiculous orange boxers?", and to that, all I can say is I wasn't thinking. Of being photographed at least. And for the purposes of full disclosure, I must say that these two events listed are not concurrent as the Daddy Incident happened several days ago. But we're not looking to do 60 Minutes here people. We're looking for the greater truth, or the higher narrative, so to say [or at least just something funny!] We find the two incidents to be indicative of the future which very well may lie ahead for both of us. Mommy, all smiles and kisses, raising her beautiful new son in a warm envelope of unconditional love and compassion. Daddy, just trying to get through the day without getting defecated on. Ah, parenthood... If I knew all this beforehand, I would have worn tighter undies for 20 years and kept the boys a bit too hot, if you know what I mean. Too late now.

Here is a quick look at Michael's thoughts just before jumping into the operating room for the big C-Section. The off-camera voice you hear is Nana's [Mary Anne, Michael's Mom], doing a Voice Over during a monologue scene, which you just don't see much nowadays. ROLL TAPE!

________

The Bridenstines consist of five sentient beings of various intellect, value and potential, specifically:

Lori -- Wife and mother, taking a government-sanctioned maternity break from her personal training gig to birth, rear and guide her son as he begins his life and ends hers, a.k.a. “eating the metaphorical bon bon.”

Nicholas -- Newest addition to the family, born happy, healthy and eager to start blaming his parents for ruining his life. Predicted first word – Why?

Brummie -- Elder female feline, happy with warm belly rubs and cold bowls of milk. Tabby in coat, Tiger in heart.

Maya -- Deadly-but-delicious younger putty tat, with a soft face to melt the hardest heart and a proclivity toward urinating on Mom and Dad while they sleep.

Michael -- Husband and father, busy writing, producing and directing the next great American sitcom, if at least in his head. Loves to multi-task while on the phone, often by dusting while yapping.
