A dad blog you listen to
Little voices.
Big stories.
True tales from when my two boys were small, told out loud the way they deserve to be told. Short enough for a cuppa, silly enough to make you snort it out your nose.

Pick a pea, press play
Six stories so far, each one a little time capsule. Pop your headphones in and go in any order you like. They're all bite-sized.
The Legend
“I'll eat peas
when I'm four.”
Before this was a blog about my boys, it was a promise from a very small me.
Every dinner, the peas got pushed to the side of the plate. Every dinner, my parents tried. And every dinner I gave them the same answer, with the full confidence of someone who couldn't yet tie his shoes: “I'll eat peas when I'm four.”
Then my fourth birthday arrived. Candles out, cake eaten, and on the plate… peas. And I ate them. A deal's a deal.
Kids say the most ridiculous, brilliant, oddly principled things. This site is where I keep my boys' ones safe.

About this blog
Why spoken, not written?
Because the best family stories have always been told out loud: round the dinner table, in the car, at every birthday whether anyone asked or not.
These are the moments with my two boys I never want to forget. The questions that floored me, the logic I couldn't argue with, the times I definitely should have been watching more closely. Each one is recorded the way I'd tell it to you over a cup of tea.
They're grown up a bit now. The stories haven't.
