I might have 4 kids just so I can Power Rank them

Let's be honest, everyone loves a good Power Ranking. Whether it's fast food restaurants, NFL teams, Christopher Nolan movies...seeing a list accompanied with standings is something we love. What makes a list like this even better is when it is mobile. When someone or something can move up and down a Power Rankings list...that's what really gets the people going. 

Deion Sanders recently posted this on Instagram:


And it got me thinking what an awesome idea this is. I have always wanted to have a kid, maybe two, but the thought of more than two kids has always seemed like a nightmare...until now. Power Ranking two kids just doesn't have the same weight as a group of four or five. Imagine, one of your kids does well on class project, while another forgets to close the refrigerator? The impact that is going to have on the weekly standings could be huge. 

I haven't fully thought out this plan, but I feel like if one of your kids spends a full month at the bottom of the Power Rankings they could face relegation. I'm not sure what that would look like, but the threat of relegation would just be a hilarious thing to throw around. 

I also feel like I might mix the pets in on my Power Rankings list, just to give the kids some real competition. Especially once they are teenagers and they are hormonally programmed to hate me, I come home from a long day of work, kids are screaming at me and the dog's tail is wagging. I want that to be reflected in the Power Rankings. 

Another option that is less permanent than having kids is Power Ranking my friends and family. But I feel like my friends wouldn't care, and my family would care too much. See with my kids, if it's just a thing I do their whole lives, I feel like they will have a good sense of humor about it. If I start doing this to my family, I don't think they will get the bit. And this would have been great for my friends, like 10 years ago...but at this point they all basically know where they stand. 

Side note Myspace Top Friends really was Power Ranking your friends, and man that shit was great. 

If I don't have 4 or 5 kids...which...more than likely I will not...and if this blog ever blows up, I promise to keep a weekly Power Rankings of the people in my life.   

If you're reading this, you're already making a strong case for a top spot.
