Daddy's Silly Bedtime Stories

Joined by our primas Sara & Camila and recorded on location in Cancun 2023! This one is about the time that I went to the dentist, and let's say my treatment was more than I expected...

Yup, this story has nothing to do with me, but with one of our favorite regular participants in this series, Greg Smith(y) and friends. One day I'll find the newspaper clipping, and might even have Greg tell his side of the story....

Wow, a lunchtime recording! A very quick one spurred by Liam pointing out that a plate is NOT a bowl....

A two-for-one story! One story leads to the next, and yup, it really happened. Not much if any exagerration here. Get ready to remind yourself that being good leads to good stuff.

The time daddy went to give a talk in China, a flight got cancelled from bad weather, and then he simply followed the herd of people from his flight INSTEAD of thinking on his own.

Ahhhhhh if you ever get the chance to visit The Ice Cream Bar in Cole Valley (SF), please do and order one of these. They truly are the greatest in the world, and that is not just Joaquin talking supreme positivity.

Ahhhh it's vacation memory time. This one is about the time a very special rock got lost in a river during a picnic while visiting Mammoth.

The next installment of our Juan Tora series ;0. This one is 20 years later, with me + Tia Montse & Maria (and Ana + Carlos!) using his apartment in the middle of Barcelona...and I just can't stop coughing....

A true classic. Be wary of anyone with musical talent, a sense of humor, and a penchant for imitating your humming tunes

Yup, this one requires an intro to the Anguera family putting up family and guests for some period of time... in our garage. This one falls right into that category! Irish Cousins in the house for this one (and the next)

What else are you going to do when you record 2 stories in one night? obviously a song to start

A short quick story because the Irish Cousins (who each say hi!) wanted it. This one goes back to a memorable tutorial session for Organic Chemistry ;0

This one is about the time I had to take an I.Q. test when transitioning from 8th grade to 9th grade....Avi was there and it was a memorable experience to say the least. Special guests (our Irish cousins!) are in the house :)

Yes, Prima Elna gets in the mix! She tells the girls a story that has nothing to do with Daddy.... in fact, I have no idea what it is about??!! What a way to end our summer adventures in Navarcles, June 2023

Special Guest Tia Montse (and Elna) tell the kids an embarrasing story about Daddy not really being able to ride or control a horse when he was a kid in Ecuador.....

This one is about the time I thought that it would be a good idea to play a prank on Tio Jordi, Avi's brother.... I was 11 and was sure that I had a good plan

This one is a very true story about the time I was offered a car (yes, a car) to join the flamenco dancing group practicing at my house. In addition to Monday Night Football and other sporting events on TV, I had other feelings about this offer....

This one is about the time that Daddy participated in the annual Bay to Breakers festivities the year that a certain volcano exploded...

This one has nothing to do with Daddy.... but with Avi! This one goes back in time to when Avi was in his 20s (I think) and had a car crash. Spoiler Alert: he was fine, but the other guy got a fright!

Ahhh there seems to be a trend as the kids like these stories... so this one involves one time sleeping over at their house, going out to an arcade, watching a silly scary movie, and the reactions to each. Big shout out to Gayle, their mom, for helping with this one :)

We're on a David & Sean roll! This one is about the times I went with them on their paper route, what happened after we finished, and how Sean lost his mind one time trying to collect from a customer who wasn't paying up ;0

Oh man, I still remember laughing like crazy the 1st time David told me this story. Really was unbelievable and hilarious....

The time Daddy and his pals went into an abandoned school in Point Loma to wander around, and got one of the biggest scares of his life.... it's also a good story to learn about the importance of telling your parents the truth RIGHT AWAY!! :)

The time that Daddy & a whole bunch of friends flew to Whistler (Canada), and in the process of arriving, customs pulled a few of the crew into "Airport Jail" for being, well.... dumb.

This one is about the time that law enforcement arrived during breakfast to Avi & Abuela's house to talk to Daddy about the Ford Tempo... and Abuela got pretty nervous :)
