My wife recently gave birth to our first child, a little boy.

Weird things I've learned now that I am a Dad:

  • You really need to get the new nappy on fast
  • An upside down index finger in the mouth is magic for a screaming baby
  • Pirates like to walk dogs. Well, apparently. My son has an outfit that says "Little Pirates" on it, and the matching shorts have pictures of Pirates walking dogs. "Now that we've looted and pillaged, I'll go and walk little Rover. Arrrr."
