I’m pretty sure I heard some of these conversations growing up

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

From McSweeney’s Internet Tendency: Conversations My Parents Must Have Had While Planning to Raise a Child:

DAD: When I teach her to ride a bike, I will tell her that my hand is on the seat, but then I will take it away just as she is getting the hang of it.

MOM: That will not turn out well.

DAD: No.

DAD: I will demonstrate a total lack of understanding of the proper grammatical way to use quotation marks, and sign every birthday card with “Love.”

MOM: That will keep her on her toes.

Like The Onion, McSweeney’s consistently brings the funny. Sharp wit, tight writing and impeccable timing fuel the McSweeney’s team in all their myriad of ventures (Wholphin, Believer, McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern).
