Fail. Fight Passed the Shark.

This morning Tal and Soren (3yr & 4yr) annoyed the patience out of  me while I was working in the office. I was already behind because of  procrastinating a few items from last week. “Daddy, can I have a piece of paper?” Daddy, Daddy, Daddy…  ”Can I put this paper in the mixer (paper shredder)”   “sure…   oh WAIT, WAIT, That’s a $1,284.34 check, no NO NO…”

How can I deny these kids!
The “too busy Dad” guilt gets the best of me.

OK guys, lets go outside and find something to do. We have some new toys to play with. (I have no idea what new toys we have – so I have to make something up). Quickly.

I pulled out the ramp from last Summer’s July 4th psychotic break. Dads are like that.

That’s when I learned what separates winners from quitters. From Tal.
Fight PASSED the Shark. (2:02)

He is much better after getting back up. (0:15)

How bad (complacent) would you be WITHOUT the shark?
