Good Dad Day!

Posted on | June 19, 2011 | 1 Comment

Howdy, fathers of the world.
(Or the ones who have found this post.)
Hopefully you’re enjoying some runny pancakes and adequately faking delight at a Das ‘candydish’.
For that you should be commended.

Here are a few other dads of the animal kingdom that could give you a run for your money.
Hope you measure up!

Seahorse

The female seahorse with insert a tube into the male seahorse’s pouch filling it with eggs. The father then carries around the brood of 10 to 300 offspring until they are ready to hatch.
Betcha he’d take the drugs.

Catfish

After the female sea catfish lays her eggs, the male scoops them up and holds them in his mouth for the month it takes them to hatch and also for two or three weeks his young need to grow into independence. While his jowls are the nursery, he doesn’t eat.
So much for brunch.

Barking Frog

The male barking frog stays near the eggs until they’re hatched, wetting them down with urine when they begin to dry out.
Potty training at it’s finest.

Happy happy Father’s day my dad and my kids’ dad! I know you would pee on us if you had to.
That’s love.

    My husband thoroughly enjoyed this post, as did I. There is always something for every parent at Mom Illustrated. Great way to start the day, with a laugh … what else?
