For Tracey, it can be the sound of someone else’s baby crying or seeing a cute little 0000 sized onesie at the shops. For me, it’s something a little different…
Unfortunately, I don’t qualify for Father of the Year- my hearts in the right place but my attention is all over the shot.
Not only did I get him to buy me lunch at the sausage sizzle out front of the hardware store but I also got to catch up on his latest news and be rewarded with a story.
My Father Nation podcast interview. Yes, that’s a thing. Let me know what you think (note: only if you think I did okay) and which bits you actually like.

“Why are you asleep?” was the first thing my wife asked me when she arrived home. “You’re supposed to be watching the kids.”
The hardest thing about looking after the kids while your wife is out working is making sure you’re awake before she comes home.
I love nothing more than finding a reason to run down to the local hardware where I can check out the tape measures. These are the only ‘tools’ Tracey lets me play with these days. I have five.
“Can we hire you a telly?” I asked my dad when I visited him in hospital last week.

He was already well and truly entertained.
