The Dream

Driving home from hockey the other night, my son (who’s 16), and I were talking about women, or girls, to be more accurate. He was complaining that there were not any “hot” girls in his high school, or at least, not any hot ones that weren’t surrounded by drama. I asked him what he was talking about and he said that all the hot ones complained and bitched all the time. He then expressed his dream to find the completely hot girl that didn’t complain at all.

We were pulling up to a light when he said this, so I came to a stop, looked over at him and said “What?”

He said “My dream is to find a really hot girl that isn’t surrounded by drama and doesn’t complain at all.”

Some dreams are goals, and some dreams are just plain ridiculous.

Fish Tales

During our vacation to Hilton Head, I took the kids tubing for a few hours. While we were out, flying around this saltwater estuary, we came upon a pod of dolphins cavorting around in the water. Our boat guide, who was all of about 20, said it looked like they were having sex. I was up in the front of the boat as he said this, trying to take pictures (see above).

Without turning around, I asked him “Why would you say that”

He replied “Humans and dolphins are the only two animals that have sex for fun”

Completely forgetting that the kids were all on the boat I said

“That must be why we like dolphins so much”
