I am currently throwing out anything in my house that may be inflatable and disregarding all boxes in my attic. I know, I don't have an attic... but I don't want one now, ever. I am also permanently putting on hold the family spaceship and time travel projects. I WILL NOT have my kid on national TV with millions and millions of people watching say, basically, "I was hiding in the closet while the ENTIRE WORLD looked for me because I didn't want my dad to yell at me." OMG! I wish Harry Chapin was alive so I could call him and request that another verse to 'Cats in the Cradle' be added. I need a drink.
This is the kind of thing that will make any dad wake-up in the middle of the night with cold sweats. Even Joe Jackson is at home thinking, 'thank God I am not THAT guy.'
Note 1 - I am really glad that kid is ok.
Note 2 - ONLY in Colorado.
Note 3 - I don't have a post under the 'Travel' category so I have affectionately filed as such.
