      As you should, you don’t know what the word family means.

      Teasingly ofc. They said they understood when I explained my stance, but they still tease me.

      Doesn’t help I’m a step dad, but it’s fine.

        Whatever you do don’t teach them about “deez nutz” because I have regrets. It’s all I hear from my nephew now.

        My kids (both girls) like “that’s what she said” though and I can actually get behind that

          They will inevitably learn it in their own from school and friends. My 9 year old is big into deez nuts, and my 11 year old just started with that’s what she said. Sigh. I’m not surprised, as both were my goto shticks in my pre-parenting years.

          You gotta own it. Roll with it. Learn their language – rizz; bussin’; Tuesday, Tuesday, What’s up brother? – and use it against them.

          Stay strong! You got this, bruh.

            My wife showed my kids some shorts from Bevis and Butthead- now my 4 year old goes around asking for “TP for his bunghole” and “cornholeious”. We may have started a new one trend.

    My favorite “kid-ism” was when I overheard my youngest cousin tell my uncle that he “just doesn’t understand because he’s old and moldy”. It’s been over 10yrs now. I will never forget that he said that because it’s one of my favorite things to call people who are old and out of touch.

      I used to have a favorite chair. We got it from a thrift store. They didn’t have a tag on it, so I offered them five bucks because five bucks is five bucks. They accepted. We named the chair Old Moldy. Thank you for bringing that memory back.

      Tinned sardines are a lovely snack and everyone should keep some on hand. This is a hill I am willing to die on. A hill of sardines.

      Looking for a pop of flavor to shake up your midweek meals? Look no further than whole sardines. These tasty little morsels are sadly misunderstood, but they’re healthy, affordable, safe, and sustainable. Caught fresh and frozen at sea to maintain the natural juices and flavor. Whether grilled, fried, broiled, or baked, we guarantee that these little, oily fish can satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. Don’t let canned sardines deter you – frozen sardines will have you singing a different tune.

      Sardines may have a Best Choice ranking for sustainability, but they are also packed with protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, iron, potassium, and other essential nutrients. Our frozen sardines are wild-caught and incredibly versatile. Our whole sardines are available in eight-pound packages, which makes it easier than ever to stock up for dinner parties or special occasions. Before cooking, it is important to prepare your sardines by scaling and rinsing them in cold running water. Remove innards and bones, and you are ready to go. To satisfy any skeptics, you can use a simple marinade to tone down the fishy taste.

      Frozen sardines are especially popular with pizzas, pasta, and salads. We ship our whole sardines on dry ice straight to your door to ensure that they are frozen upon arrival. Order today and enjoy free shipping when you spend $250 or more!

      Country of Origin:Portugal

      Wild Caught Comes in four 2 lbs. bags

          You put that much effort into making a pie with fucking fish heads sticking out the sides? Why? I mean I’d probably eat it and probably even enjoy it but it looks just awful.

        If you are every in Pittsburgh, Wholey’s is located there and has a fish market downtown which really great. The food there is solid and unpretentious. Highly recommend.

      Try some smoked kippers. I like sardines as well, but much prefer the herring. Polar is a light tasting, inexpensive brand, but there are lots of options.

    I swear it, my father’s obscene,

    he eats the sardines,

    sends his money to Osteen,

    he smokes the nicotine,

    he welds with acetylene,

    he wants to be a Mujaheddin,

    and he wears the Polypropylene,

    but only on Halloween
