Do you eat enough protein in a day? Don’t even bother answering, because I know the answer is no. But don’t worry, I’m kind of a protein guy. I can give you all the guidance you need so you can stop being such a weak little bitch. I eat three hundred times my recommended daily allowance of protein. So as you can imagine, my life is perfect. I can crush a fifteen-gallon stainless-steel trash can with my thighs. I could lift your sofa above my head and throw it so far you’ll never see it again. And that’s what I’ll do if you don’t start eating enough protein. So you’d better listen up.

Let’s start with the basics. According to my nutritionist, a guy named the Beef Man, you should be getting at least 30,000 grams of protein at each meal. You’re probably clocking in at a cool fifteen grams or less, which, quite frankly, makes me want to punch a wall. How many chicken breasts have you even eaten so far today? Four? Five? Don’t make me laugh.

It’s supposed to be gorgeous out, and we can’t spend such a gorgeous weekend trapped in the house by the bathroom.

It’s supposed to be gross out, and it will be hard enough having our toddler stuck inside all weekend without adding potty training into the mix.

I mean, did you see the news that just came out about Miles Teller? I don’t know how we’re supposed to focus on anything else with that whole situation going on.

We’ve already committed to making this the weekend when we pretend we’re serious about getting her to stop using her pacifier rather than the one when we pretend we’re serious about getting her to use the potty.

We don’t want to.

We want to so badly that not doing it seems like a valuable opportunity to teach ourselves and our toddler about the benefits of self-denial.

One of his cousins is just about finished with potty training, and we need to let her enjoy her moment in the sun for a weekend or six before we swoop in with great potty training news of our own.

My parents are visiting, and we don’t want the stress of potty training to ruin a fun weekend with them.
