iDad 007 – Mini Me Meets One Little Girl
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on January 30, 2012
Mini Me I have mentioned previously about God Sakes love for all things miniature and his unfortunate inclination to eat said tiny toys. Well Granny also had a predilection for the pint sized.

iDad Part Six – More Cake
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Short Stories on September 1, 2011
St Andrew’s Growing up with No.1, God Sakes and Granny was as entertaining as it was educational and iDad’s influence over his children was profound. As a fledgling golfer I was forever talking to my boys about the three or four good shots I made out of the one hundred and thirty it took me [...]

Late last year the National Geographic Channel ran a series of fantastic shows on the Great Migrations of the animal world. Monarch butterflies, nomadic elephants and herds of bleating zebras graced our screen and entertained the children. One of my personal favourites was the red crab from Christmas Island. Each mating season millions of these [...]

Following on from a recent visit to Sydney Children’s Hospital (God Sakes poked a bamboo stake into Granny’s eyeball) and with all the free time I have thanks to my insomnia, I was inspired to write a new iDad story for you. Ladies and gentlemen, for your edification and entertainment, I present iDad Number 5. [...]

iSanta – The iDad Christmas Special
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on December 18, 2010
Press play below for a little theme music. Christmas has always been a magical time of the year in our family ever since iDad was a baby himself. As soon as God Sakes learned to talk Bynel and Mynel became Gam-pa and Gam-mar, which made my mother very happy, and for as far back as [...]

iDad v3 – Hello Granny
Posted by Matt Green in Commentary, Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on October 6, 2010
The doctor took Granny from me and raced off to another part of the hospital with Blue Eyes in hot pursuit.
