Clearly I'm missing something here...

Our school district is putting on a seminar for fathers called, "Making Every Minute Count." It looks very well put together, and the emphasis is, apparently, on squeezing the most out of those precious minutes with your kids.

Therefore, the seminar takes place for six hours on a Saturday, when presumably Dad would otherwise be home, making the most of his time with his kids.

I guess those 360 minutes don't count.

Maybe they should have called the seminar, "Making Your Wife Count the Minutes Until You Come Home and Spend Some Time With the Kids She's Been Keeping from Mauling Each Other to Death All Week." I guess that wouldn't have fit on the brochure, though.

There are surgeries that take less than six hours!

They'll be lucky if they get any dads to attend. I wouldn't advise my husband to go--just like you said, he'd BETTER be home on a Saturday or else have a darn good excuse!

Six hours? Holy smokes. I predict it will be cancelled due to lack of people signing up.

Just tell him this: play with them! Saved you six hours. I should start marketing that. Reminds me of the time I went to a Dave Ramsey seminar (I got the tickets for free) and he said, "Turns out common sense is marketable!" That really stuck with me and I see evidence of it all the time. I should become a motivational speaker and make a million dollars! I knew that whole college thing was overrated... ;)

I had an idea: have the dads bring the kids so they can practice what they learn right away. Problem solved.
