Play time

There are a lot of benefits to being a parent. But you know what really tops the list on most days? You get to be a goofball. It's a great excuse to crack dumb jokes or make a ridiculous drawing, and the kids laugh their butts off.

Or you can empty out your son's toy boxes, get on the floor and really go hog wild. We called this the Battle of the Army Men and the Football Dinosaurs. What a great way to end the day. And oh, the dinosaurs won. It wasn't even close.
