SHE SAID HE COULDN'T CLEAR THE FENCE??
Prove her wrong, or accept that she might know your knees better than you do?
The caption says his wife doesn't think he can jump the fence. He takes a run at it, announces a problem with his knees, and goes into the fence instead of over it. Then he's bent over laughing.
This looks like a comedy bit, not some great test of athletic ability. The timing of that knee announcement is doing most of the work.
As a husband, I can appreciate a joke where the punchline is your own confidence. Nobody needs to turn it into a lecture about wives doubting their men.
And as a dad, I'd rather my kids learn that you can laugh at yourself than think every little challenge needs proving.
The fence remains unconvinced.
“She showed me what it is to be a hero.” The father of the co-pilot who was among nine people killed when a jet crashed into a Palm Beach County neighborhood on Sunday spoke about losing his daughter.
SHE SAID IT RIPPED BY ITSELF!!
Smart parenting or did Mom bluff too hard?
With two little guys at home, I watched this like it was a training film. Mom finds something cut, the scissors are sitting right there, and her daughter swears it just ripped on its own. So Mom points at the backyard camera and gives her one last chance to tell the truth.
No yelling. No grabbing. She just lets the kid sit there and do the math.
The look when it clicks that the camera saw everything is worth the whole video.
Some folks will say the camera move teaches kids to behave only when somebody's watching. Fair point. But the goal here wasn't a punishment. It was the truth, and she offered it to her more than once before she ever had to prove anything.
The mom says she had no idea the kitchen scissors had walked outside, and they're getting hidden now. Every parent has learned that lesson the hard way.
Tell the truth the first time. It's cheaper.
She's deeply sorry that the things she said publicly -- and with great pride -- resulted in people correctly calling her a hate-filled, violence-loving monster.
