the Wry Baby Blog

We re-located our funny baby clothes business to quaint, historic Mooresville, North Carolina, because it’s quiet, pleasant and lovely. It’s a good thing we didn’t look at this first page of Mooresville’s official town photo gallery online, because that presents quite a different picture. I’m not sure where all the riot suppression is happening in town. Looks fun!

	Mysterio Predicts the Week of June 29, 2009 Forgive me, Dear Seeker of Secrets, for I have no visions for you this week. My connection to the netherworld has been quite interrupted and I have not yet had time to find digital replacements for my analogue wares at the occult superstore.

We make funny baby clothes to help take some of the stress out of being a new parent, but we always strived create something truly important. For instance, if we were to reduce birthing pain without drugs, hypnosis or fancy breathing. I guess we’ll have to look elswhere to change the world as this photo clearly shows that painless birthing has been acheived. And apparently it’s an outpatient proceedure to boot.

See more painless, happy childbirth images here.

Wry Baby Kelly here, doing a blog hijack to get a few compliments in for the Pops out there.  I know Father’s day was last Sunday. You probably had a fine 15 minutes of glory to relish around in, and hopefully you took advantage of the situation and finagled yourself some coffee in bed, or some quality “you” time. But chances are, your Sunday went pretty much as usual with the exception of a pull-out-the-stops breakfast, and by nightfall, you might have even achieved something on the big old honey-do list. That’s about what happened at our house. I’ll just say it – Dad’s get robbed for recognition. By the time Father’s Day rolls around, the Mother’s day hub-bub has pretty much taken the steam out of things. And because school is out for summer, the little kiddles don’t come home with any special hand art projects. But hopefully Dads, you know exactly how important you are in every moment. You are needed more than you know. You are appreciated far more than we show. You are the role model, the teammate and the rock. Thanks for making it fun!

A Dad Moment

	Mysterio Predicts the Week of June 22, 2009 Having inflated Father’s ego and sense of self-worth yesterday, baby will spend the week tearing it all down to an acceptable, maintainable level.

Be you BBQ-ing, napping all day, or (like me) compelled to actually complete a long list of Honey-Do’s, Wry Baby wishes you the bestest of Father’s Days.

Like Father like son. My Boy and I goof it up outside Frye’s Roller Rink in North Carolina. It’s our firm belief that you CANNOT roller skate, at a rink, without tube socks, wrist bands and other Seventies regalia. Apparently, no one felt like-wise, but they let us stay.

For this coming Father’s Day, the Albany Times Union recommended our Wheel of Responsibility AND our Proud Parent Pins for Dad as excellent New Dad gifts!

The Wheel of Responsibility ($11.95) and Proud Parent Pins for Dad ($9) are available at wrybaby.com. Act now and get Dad some EXTRA NIPPLES at 75% OFF regular price.

If you haven’t figured it out by now, our company motto, Raise Funny People® is also our parenting philosophy. And just because we trademarked the term doesn’t mean we gots dibs on fun. Whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, just using a little imagination can turn even the most mundane tasks into a fun family adventure.

Kelly bought me a Flip video camera and we use the heck out of it. It’s small, it’s easy and for both those reasons it’s almost always on my person. We just happen to all be on a little breather with friends at Lake Chelan, WA., and on a quick stop for cheddar cheese, Atticus and I made this fun impromptu supermarket video poking fun at our hosts. Illustrating that you really can have fun doing just about anything if you put your mind to it.

	Mysterio Predicts the Week of June 15, 2009 This week will be a melancholy one as you pack up all the elaborate decorations and supervise the removal of the numerous, enormous flag poles that you had erected in your front yard. As Baby pours over all the gifts that Uncle Sam left the night before, this Flag Day will always be remembered as the best ever.
