iDad the Eighth

Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on April 24, 2012

Move over Maradona. By the time I had become a proud father of five I was nearing my late thirties. Unfortunately I had gained weight with each and every child that came along and my physique was no longer the bronzed Adonis of my early adolescence. My body had matured, like a fine wine or [...]

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.

Rain Dancing with Sir Joseph Banks

Posted by Matt Green in Humour, Latest Posts, Short Stories on November 25, 2011

Tuesday 22nd November – Evening – Botany / Banksmeadow Area The incessant yet gentle precipitation had left me feeling mildly depressed.

iDad Gets Published in Bare Essentials Magazine

Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on July 15, 2011

Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on May 6, 2011

Are We Jogging? Or so said the eccentric mystic from the movie ‘Jewel of the Nile’ as he, Joan Wilder and Jack T Colton fled across the desert, pursued by Omar the charming, yet ruthless dictator. I often wonder the same thing in the twilighty minutes before sunrise as I dodge past garbage trucks, lonely [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]
