Thought for the Day

When you hear your beloved wife open the back door, say oh-oh in the direction of the kiddie pool, and you hear her saying “get out, get out” as she closes the door behind her, and all children and pets are accounted for, you really ought to go see what’s going on.  Or you could continue to sit in the comfy chair, enjoy your cold beverage, and watch a tired 4-year-old run laps.

 

Fatherhood means you always choose plausible deniability over actively seeking out trouble.

    Inquiring minds want to know. What (or who) was in the kiddie pool?

      Apparently it was almost overflowing and there was a frog in it from the pond.

        Okay, yeah. “Get out, get out” is the tamest thing that comes to mind. At least you don’t have all girls. Boo can deal with that stuff if you’re not around and it’s freaking out Irish Woman or Girlie Bear. Me, I’m stuck with being the strong, non-squeamish one when Hubby’s not around, and it is NOT something I excel at.

    hey, we get frogs in the kiddy pool all the time! Course, our kiddy pool is for our dogs….and they think the frogs are just appetizers…

    I wouldn’t have said “oh-oh”. I’d have said “ooooooh!”
