The things we do to amuse our children

A pair of swim goggles. Your gateway to hilarity.


The things we do to amuse our kids.


The above antics prompted these comments:

Junior Ricardipus #1 (age 7):
"You look cool!"

Junior Ricardipus #2 (age 5)"
"I don't think you look good at all."

Junior Ricardipus #1 again:
"YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO PLAY GUITAR!!!"



Astute fellow, that boy. Spotted the closet rock star in his dad, no problem.

1st!! Has this photo been digitally re-mastered, or do you wear those all the time?

Richard Wintle said...

Wear them? Those are my *eyes*, John!

Rik said...

Was this in Chuck E Cheese?

If so, you are excused.

Richard Wintle said...

rik - no. It was at Chateau Ricardipus. Upstairs, in fact.

And stop complaining about me not posting enough. This is what you get. Quantity, not quality.

Nice "eyes".

His eyes really do look like that. I've seen them. The other glasses are just a cover up.

I see that you've done away with the anonymity thing and are ready to be mobbed by the adoring crowds at your next mega-conference.

As to how Mrs. Ricardipus does anything, it's the same as you do: when you don't have a choice, you do it. I'm sure she views CEC in the same light. The kids won't thank you for it, even though they might have meant to at one point or another.

Get me another coffee; I'm feeling a little too resigned..

I really have no idea what CEC is.

And how will anyone recognize me without those goggles on? Hmmm?
