Camping, Piano Recitals And Other Observations

May 4, 2009 by winjaw

Just a few observations from the last couple of weeks:

Dads  bring knives to campouts; often times complete with belt carrying case. It’s the only time you will see a dad so equipped. These knives are not used to cut food, kill bears, chop wood, or any other survival need. Their sole purpose is to whittle sticks into sharp punji stakes. Period.

The significant others of said dads will blow a gasket when said punji stake is given to their precious snowflake. The phrase “he could put his eye out” and “what are you thinking” will come out during said conversation.

When eating out, the Sons of Thunder can order meals and drinks in six seconds. That would all three – combined. Consider it a 50-yard dash. The Little Black Dress takes about six minutes. That’s if she’s narrowed it down. Ordering is considered a conversation, or a quarter-mile leisurely stroll.

The younger the kid, the less likely they want to be “it.” And the youngest Son of Thunder is no exception. He will simply sit there and not move until an older member of the tribe gives in and becomes “it.”

Kids have an inexhaustible energy supply during play time. You get tired just watching them. The words “kids,” “energy,” and “work” are never used in the same sentence unless in a negative context. You will get more tired trying to get them to work than watching them play.

Who is more nervous, your child during his/her first recital or you?

If you close your eyes during a recital, can you fake that you were getting into the music, or do people know you’re falling asleep?

It is impossible for the two youngest members of the Sons of Thunder to sit still through anything if said event involves having to dress up in something where the term  “what a  nice looking young man” is used.

One of the easiest things in life is to pick out the parents of the child who is performing.

I recently heard the term “effortless ambiguity.” I’m still at a complete loss on that.

A child’s imagination is one of the most powerful things in the universe.

A great parent will encourage the above as much as possible.
