It takes a special skill to include your neighbours in your … activities. This week’s recipient has not only done that, but he has established a convincing defence. Reservoir Dad is a pretty established blogger, with an excellent library of Evil Genius Parenting Examples. It helps that he is a dad […]
I came across this article today (good work Checklist Mommy) and it has been gnawing at me all day. I also checked out the NY Times piece on the same event. This whole event pisses me off. Short summary – Malala Yousafzai is a 14 year old girl in Pakistan. Even […]
Evil Genius Inc survived the school holidays. And no-one was maimed, injured, or killed. Yes, the spawnlings DID make someone else vomit but as Evil Genius Grandma says, “that just made it better”. Of course, school holidays provide a plethora of opportunities to express your Evil Genius. But no matter […]
October is pretty much known as “dress-up-and-eat-lots-of-sugar” month. Sure, it’s supposed to be on one day – 31st October. But the other 30 days are for building up your tolerance. And strategising new ways of stealing from the kids. Of course, October then becomes “pin-this-picture-of-my-kids-cool-costume” month, and even “look-at-my-cool-costume-that-I-have-worked-on-for-the-last-six-months” month. […]

Basic evil skill – convincing someone the pool water is warm. Most days I can tell when Sinister is lying to me. And I’ll give him this: He really did think that the water was warm. Thus me calling him a freak. <*insert raucous childish laughter*> “Thanks… now, what’s a […]
I want a Femtosecond Camera. Remember the periscopes you used to make as a child? Long, cardboard box (or pvc, if your dad was a plumber), couple of mum’s compact mirrors (or dad’s, if he was a musician), and suddenly you have the ability to peer around corners on unsuspecting […]
In our second week of the Evil Genius Parent Awards, I am proud to see so many minions striving to emanate true evil genius parenting. With a range of examples – from restaurant playgrounds, to convincing your child to wear pants, the winner is truly inspirational. The idea is simple, […]
Every time a school tries blocking Facebook, a fairy loses its wings. And then falls to the Earth as a troll. Or a hacker. It’s pretty much a 50-50. Either way, my recruitment efforts just halved. With these policies in place, there are now two types of students: Those who […]
