It happens everyday on the plains of Africa and in the jungles of the Amazon; the slower, stronger predator stalks it's weaker yet faster prey. When it finally makes it's move, the smaller animal uses it's God given speed to try and elude it's attacker and usually it can make a safe escape and live to fight another day.
Unless it happens to trip and fall. And if it does? It's usually an ugly affair.
The Lion and the Antelope. The Tiger and the Zebra. The Cheetah and whatever a Cheetah chases and eats.
Trot and Rakes, the latter wearing his Cars underoos, his Mom's UG boots, and a smile.
I wish I could say this hardly ever happens. I wish I could say they are really calm, normal children that don't need professional help. I wish I could say this didn't make me laugh.
I wish.
Once Rakes is campaigning for President, you should put these in a vault for safekeeping
ReplyDeleteWon't happen, Tex. He's destined for bigger and better things.
ReplyDeleteLike the Ringmaster for the circus.
uhmmm isnt that what the President does on his off days?
ReplyDeleteProbably. Rakes is going to play 2B for the Red Sox; if Pedie can do it so can Rakes.
ReplyDeleteIf you want a good laugh... you should hear me singing "Hot in Herre" by Nelly at karaoke. I definitely say "spohtscah" at one point (I swear I don't actually have a Boston accent... every so often I guess I just try to be "hahdcoah". ;)
ReplyDelete::packs full body armour and cast iron cup::
ReplyDeleteSarah, nothing wrong with that Boston accent. My Carolina twang comes and goes too. ;)
ReplyDeleteHorsham, you're a friendly. They know you by now, so no need for the body armour.
I'd bring the cup, though. Just in case.
Once again you have made what could be a bad day , livable, by sharing the antics of our young 'uns.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ted..your a life saver!!!!
No problem, JMP. Glad I could help.
ReplyDeleteTed-
ReplyDeleteRakes and I have much in common.
He looks like me on a typical saturday night minus a gallon or two of beer in his stomach.
That's pretty frightening, Rich. He's a future member in the Treehouse club btw.
ReplyDeleteLook at like this, he never needs to worry about leg room at fenway.
ReplyDeleteThe rate he's going Rich, he won't have to worry about leg room in the back of a car with no seat.
ReplyDeleteWhich means you can buy that sports car you always wanted!
ReplyDeleteThere is always room in the tree house.
For short peoples.
Rich, it's a nice idea in theory, but it won't work.
ReplyDeleteBut he's always got the tree house to look forward to.
