Fame and Fortune With a Side of Delusion

“When did you know you’d be famous?”

I smile thoughtfully, shift slightly in my seat, leaning back as a cross my legs; a pensive and knowing look greets millions of adoring fans.

“I suppose you could say I knew I was bound for stardom the moment I began What Did Your Mom Say?

My gigantic Tony Robbins ego bends down, whispering daily affirmations through a thousand pearly white teeth, “Visualize your blogging success.  See your fame and be it.”  There I am, famous and telling the daily talk show circuit the secrets to my cut-throat-world-of-parental-blogging success

It’s common knowledge that parents are a deluded bunch.  As soon as I heard that little muffled heartbeat it was: “HOLY SHIT, we created a life” and I understood exactly why.  Everyone else in the world must surely understand the significance of me (ME?!) and my partner creating a human being - OUR human being.  Already we see the glazed eyes and polite “I don’t give a shit” smiles, so we've decided against renting out a theater to screen our 3D ultrasound video.

If you’d told me a year ago that come next March I’d have traded my hipster pad for a bungalow on a quiet street and started a Dad Blog I wouldn’t have believed you for a second.  But alas, here I am, all responsible and shit.  But these things happen, and I wouldn’t change it for a second.
