Tip #4 - Never ask your kids if your cool

Never ask your kids if your cool unless you're prepared for the truth.

Example:
Hyrum was telling us how cool his aunt's boyfriend was because of something he has. As a result of my lapse of judgment, I asked Hyrum "Daddy doesn't have that, so am I cool?" To which Hyrum promptly replied "No." He was correct in his assessment of my coolness and I know I'm not cool but no one wants it confirmed by a 5 year old.

As a general rule of thumb, never ask a question you don't want to know the answer to.
