My wife and I have a 10-month old son named Ivan.  He is fantastic, and we love being parents.

The good news is that my wife is an awesome mother.  I’m not a bad father, either.  Only one  problem:

I can’t figure out how any of the baby equipment — strollers, cribs, walkers, bassinets, pak-n-plays — is assembled.  We bought a special inflatable tub made especially for infants.  It’s like a kiddie pool that you blow up and put in the bathtub.

AND I COULDN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO INFLATE IT!!

Finally, I said to my wife, “how much does this thing cost?  ‘Cause whatever that amount is, why don’t you just give to me, so I can flush it down the toilet, for all this is going to do for us.”

Ten minutes later, she had the thing inflated.  Don’t ask me how she did it.  I don’t know — AND I WATCHED HER DO IT!

So, what does this mean?  Well, it means that Ivan’s dad is a knucklehead.

On the other hand, it also means that Ivan will always be kept laughing and amused — even if it’s at my expense.
