Watch This
May 19th, 2008-10:32 pm by sub2changeSo, I’m a bad parent. Given that I treat my first born like a toy rather than a priceless antique, I don’t think a second child could ever survive me. I’m starting to think that my sense of humor just isn’t compatible with being a first time parent. Take tonight, for example.
I turned on the sprinkler to water the lawn and Cole made a bee line for it. A good parent would have probably chased after him. Even though he was wearing a rain coat it’s still pretty chilly outside.
Cole stopped and turned around to face me, while the sprinkler reached the end of its travel and started to swing back toward us. I tapped Cole’s mother on the shoulder and said, “watch this.”
Shock and awe is the term I might use to describe the look on the boy’s face when the cold water hit him. He laughed and went back for more, of course.Â

Did you take a picture?! (That’s what makes it bad!!!) You always have to have the camera ready!

The camera batteries were dead.
I do have a picture of him holding a scary-looking hand saw. My first instinct was to take it away from him, but then I gave it back because I wanted to send Kelly a picture message first.

I guess that makes me a bad parent as well. I did all that stuff with my son. I’ve got a picture of him walking around with a beer bottle that he got out of the recycle bin. I think he was about 2ish at the time. He’s now 11 and still kickin’.

At his first birthday party my son was making a game of running to grab me beers. The other guys were pretty jealous.
