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. To him, every itty-bitty item was somebody’s baby and, like his brothers before him, his favourite were prehistoric monsters. Plastic dinosaurs (or [...]

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 [...]

iDad and the Great Migration
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on February 23, 2011
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 [...]

Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on January 5, 2011
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 v2.0 – God Sakes

With sauce in her hair and a jelly bean up her nose Cake showed No.1 the proper way to gorge upon party food until finally her father was able to pries her away from the table so the other kiddies could get something to eat.
iDad 1.1 – No.1 Finds His Voice
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on September 14, 2010
A child with allergies is a terrifying experience and iDad quickly worked out the fastest route to Prince of Wales Children’s Emergency from every part of town. Watching their little faces puff up with anaphylaxis and not knowing the cause is the stuff of nightmares.

iDad

Within a few short days of becoming a father I submitted my illustrious entry to the ‘Husband of the Year’ competition. A couple of beers with the boys turned into a soppy, yet immensely inebriated 2am telephone call to the delivery ward at St Margaret’s Hospital.

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. There was no holding hands in the dark this time round. iDad was left alone to ponder his inability to protect his children. It was an empty, hollow feeling of despair that I will never forget.
