Evan and I went swimming yesterday. We were bobbing around minding our own business when a little girl turned to her mother, pointed at me, and said:
“Mummy? Why has that man got a beard on his back?”
Bloody charming.

Who am I?
My name's Dan and I live near Huddersfield in the North of England. I’m a 34 years old part time stay at home dad. For three days a week I'm also a community mental health nurse but you won’t find me blogging about that here. I’m married to Kerry and we have two children - Amy (6) and Evan (3). I keep chickens, grow veg, and take the occasional long walk. If you want to know how other's describe me then take a look here.Where else to find me

Becky´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday
@Becky, yes, mine do that frequently.
“you aren’t going to beat us and lock us in the cupboard again are you Daddy?”.
Pah! kids eh!
What did she reply?
Socrates´s last blog ..I don’t do cards
@Socrates, I tink she was too overwhelmed by my manlyness that she couldn’t speak
LMAO! Would not have wanted to be that mother or that guy!
Susie´s last blog ..Take Pride In Your Country & Your Heritage
@Susie, well I was that guy, but I can’t speak for the mother.
it didn’t bother me to be honest. I am comfortable with my resemblance to a shag pile rug.
@Dan,
LOL-not everyone is so comfortable with themselves. Glad you are. (or are you just pulling my leg? :-) )So in case the guy wasn’t I didn’t want to be him.
Susie´s last blog ..Take The Time To Hear, See and Feel Life
Bwahahaha!
Rol´s last blog ..March Music
@Rol, Thank you for your support
Mmm…I too am wondering what the Mum said…
@English Grandma, As I say, she was too overcome with my sexual magnetism to do anything but turn away and pretend to be disgusted
It’s a well known fact that other people’s children should be banned.
Barbara´s last blog ..The Gallery – Colour
@Barbara, I agree completely. Or at least kept indoors until they are 28
Kids can be painfully honest sometimes can’t they!
CJ xx
@Crystal Jigsaw, yup. I did consider making a comment about the kid’s sticky out ears but I decided against it.
Did her mother tell her that obviously the hair on the top of your head has started crawling towards your ass?
Avitable´s last blog ..Chat Roulette
@Avitable, it’s true. When Kerry shaves my head for me she often has trouble working out where to stop.
I call this two Tweets…. :P
MrsW´s last blog ..The Gallery: Red
@MrsW, yes. and look at the number of comments I got. Plus I’ve a permenant record of it. My theory of saving stuff like this for the blog holds water.
hahahhahahaahaha
“He hasn’t shed his winter coat yet,” is what I would’ve said.
Erin @ Fierce Beagle´s last blog ..Two paths diverged in the salon
@Erin @ Fierce Beagle, I shed a fair bit of it in the pool actually. It was the dry crusty skin that was keeping it on it seems.
Mild, mini asked why one of his friends dad was so black this morning and how did he get so big – he is 6 foot 7. The ground could have swallowed me up
The Mad House´s last blog ..Getting Maxi – Part Three Coming Home
@The Mad House, yes, we’ve had a few innocent yet potentially perceived as racist remarks from the kids in the past.
The honesty of kids! Gotta admit taht did make me giggle!

@Hayley, I’m glad my mutation causes you pleasure

Heather´s last blog ..Does It Matter What Your Blog Looks Like?
@Heather, I need to have some compensation for the lack of it on my head.
Kids! Luv ‘em but couldn’t eat a whole one :p
Kelloggsville´s last blog ..Guiding Colours
@Kelloggsville, I could have a damn good try though.
Other people’s children are dreadful. Mine are wonderful, even when four year old said ‘daddy, that man’s got a big fat face’ in a cafe the other day.
Emily O´s last blog ..What would you like people to say about you?
@Emily O, strangely enough mine are wonderful too. How odd that the only two people in the world with wonderful kids read each other’s blogs. What are the chances eh?
*giggling*
Mwa´s last blog ..Icky spoon, nightingales, small morons, death, Spring and bye-bye forest
@Mwa, how dare you giggle at my misfortune madam?!
can you shave x-men characters on your back? Wolverine preferrably.
Or you could claim an evolutionary advantage for the coming ice age…we all know people can’t keep claiming a global warming after last winter :P

Surfer Jay´s last blog ..Lacey Photo Session
@Surfer Jay, you really are a surfer an’t you! Gnarly dude. Or something like that anyway.

Fe´s last blog ..No surprises … just venting…
@Fe, I jst read it on your blog. You’re was more unpleasent than mine though. stupid woman.
Your wife clearly doesn’t insist on you having a monthly back wax…my husband would consider you very fortunate!
muummmmeeeeee……´s last blog ..Porridge Baths & Spongebob Squarepants…
@muummmmeeeeee……, seriously?
I consider objecting to a man’s back hair to be equal to complaining about a woman’s cellulite
…at least cellulite doesn’t shed all over the bedsheets!
muummmmeeeeee……´s last blog ..Porridge Baths & Spongebob Squarepants…
I wish I had a backbeard. At least it would make a good donor site for a hair transplant.
beta dad´s last blog ..We Don’t Need No Stinking Minivan
@beta dad, I’m currently talking to my doctor about that very possibility
Priceless! thanks for the laugh.
Amanda´s last blog ..The worst day of my life – Part 1

It’s a disguise. All the celebrity backs have to use them out in public these days to avoid causing a scene.
