When I first saw this picture I started laughing.
Soon, I started getting an uneasy feeling in my stomach; a nagging thought that I know a kid who would actually do this ......
But why would my stomach hurt???
Oh No! It's because this kid reminds me of my own crazy, thrill-seeking son. As his father it worries me that he would want to try something like this.
Then it gets worse.
This picture reminds me of myself! Now I understand why he tries these things.
When I drove my own parents crazy with worry, they said they were going to pray that I had a kid just like me.....
It looks like their prayers were answered. They must have been laughing hysterically for almost a decade now.
I quickly look around for my son to see where he is. Whew! He's sitting on the couch and watching, believe it or not, "What the Ancients Knew - The Greeks".
I lean over to kiss him and see he's taking notes on Pythagoras' theorem with a drawing he made labeled, "Zeus' Mount Olympus Death Ramp"....
.....the uneasy feeling has quickly come back.
I don't think we should educate crazy people. They become much too dangerous. Sure they may change the world by showing us the impossible is possible, but they may kill themselves doing it.
What channel has the mind-numbing cartoons?
