My wife called me out last week because my daughter had picked up one of my words…thingamajiggy.

My favorite language acquisition was by my daughter, when she was 4 or 5. I was mowing in 100+ weather and about to melt. She was supposed to be getting things out of my way as I did so. She had missed one of the nylon, folding chairs that had collapsed. I said, “Can you please move that damn chair.” To which she replied, “Which damn chair, Daddy?”

Son was 20 months… I’m holding him in one of those kitchen stores Christmas shopping. He picks up a salt grinder the bottom fell off and he’s says, clearly, distinctly, “Shit”… The ladies around me looked at me like I was the devil himself…

Son was two and picking a book off his shelf. A rather large Winnie-the-Pooh if I recall. It slips out of his hand and I cringe as I see it heading for his bare toes. Narrowly missing them, he looks down, pauses and says, “Well, fuck.”. I swear it wasn’t learned from me.[/quote]

LOFL!!! you got to be dad to realy get why this is so funny.

What’s even funnier is when it happens in public and people glare at you, you just look at them like 'What?" I love the ‘High and Mighty’ pretense of most people.

Ran bleachers. 10 laps. Should remember not to do that when you have chest congestion still clearing up. My sinus drained into my chest. I just love that feeling, don’t you?

464

10 laps… That sounds like punishment, not training. Great job. Once the congestion clears, you’re gonna feel like a new man.

465

10 laps on the bleachers is outstanding conditioning work.

It would be nice. Punishment, GPP, it’s all the same.

How are you feeling? Any better?

Regarding your bleacher laps, sometimes punishment feels good. I mean that in the least weird way possible. I quells the demons if that makes any sense.

Like self flagellation good? Even with that, it is going to be hard to get away from, at least, strange :slight_smile:

Nice work, RL.

What’s a hand and thigh lift?

Another name is the quarter dead. You’re basically moving the bar about 4-6in. You load up the bar, grip, put your thighs under it, and lock it out. I learned it from ‘Rock, Iron, and Steel’ by Steve Justa. It acutally works the shit out of your upper back.

474

Nice work in here Rug.

I love the daddy stories. Kids are awesome.

475

nice work in here. I like the name ‘hand and thigh lift’.

476

Spent an hour swimming yesterday. I’m friggin beat today. Ah well. Heavy benching to come later. Happy Independence Day to all. All those who serve to keep us free, you are in my prayers. On a side note…I’m 44 today…yaaaaaaa!!!

477

Happy Birthday! I always thought it was cool that I shared a birthday with Bob Hope and JFK. I think that sharing a birthday with our nation might trump that :slight_smile: Fireworks on your birthday…FTW!

478

Happy Birthday, Rug! Strick’s right, that’s a great day to be born.

479

Happy 44th RL. Growing up with a birthday on the 4th must be a blast. (pun intended)

Happy Birthday
