Wonderful Wife: “We’re going swimming at the Lake!”
Me: “Better be careful of the sharks.”
Little Miss Thing, age 4 : “REALLY??!!?”
Danger Monkey, age 7: “Sharks live in salt water. The Lake is fresh water. There are no sharks.”
Me: “Don’t make me regret giving you all those science books.”
Tonight My Wonderful Wife taught our son, Danger Monkey age 7, to wash and chop celery with a full sized chef’s knife.
It took a little bit of practice and I was so nervous I couldn’t even watch.
After a few minutes, I hear the Mama announce he has it down.
He shouts “Achievement unlocked!”
His Geeky Viking dad is so proud.
Is it dusty in here?
Danger Monkey, age 7, while angrily doing his chores:
“FINE! I’ll just go to sleep and see if next year is better!”
