Why not a “Mommle”?
Our good friends Chris and Kristie gave us a fabulous Christmas gift this year. Knowing how much I love to spend time with the kids, they found an item that will give the kids hours of fun for years to come. Unfortunately it will also give Daddy a bad back and sore knees.
Yes, our good friends gave us The Daddle. And it sits in our play room ready for the kids to ask for a ride whenever the mood strikes. And lately the mood strikes every freakin’ day. In fact, you can add “Daddle” to Swee’Pea’s huge vocabulary.
It has been fun but a man can only take so much riding. I have tried to convince the lovely wife that it really is called “The Mommle” but she’s not convinced. I can’t wait for “Uncle Chris” to come over and babysit (next week?) so they can participate in all this Daddle fun.
Giddy up!

Oh. My husband would die if we got one of these!
As it is, whenever I stoop down to pick something up off the floor, my two-year old jumps on my back: “Ride! Ride!”

Hey, that looks really cool! Does it come with the kneepads, or do you have to bring your own?

Looks cool, but makes my back hurt just thinking of it.

LOL, that is hilarious.
He should have also given you a pony to strap it onto.
Lately my 9 yr old gives the horsie-back rides to our youngest, age 4, so I’m off the hook. I’ve given thousands of rides over the years, and this horse is getting old, LOL.

Just checking in. Yep, your kids are still heart-wrenchingly beautiful.

Oh. Sweet. Jesus. There is absolutely nothing funny about this. My knees ache and back weeps just looking at this contraption. My wife likes to complain about things which, in her mind, were obviously invented by men. Looking at this, I have no doubt that this was designed by a woman who was nine months pregnant and eager for revenge…
