    Flayed alive. I’m picturing Calvin without skin. He would probably think it was a cool look.

    He was probably swinging the binoculars around by the strap to see how high they would go. Centrifugal force and gravity are a fun combo.

    Calvin, you blame yourself for breaking your daddy’s binocular.

    Ah, perfectly reasonable. Could happen to anyone.

    There’s always more to the story than first comes out.

    I know this kind of story line …
    got bitten by a dog…. , after I threw a stick at it…… , after I have been teasing it behind the fence…….. , for the last halve hour…… , every day, for the last year….. etc etc etc, until you have a very clear picture of who is guilty

    Honestly, what was Dad thinking? I wouldn’t give my binoculars to Calvin until he was 37 and bonded.

    Calvin, You should point out to Dad that he now has TWO monocles. And everyone knows that TWO is better than ONE. He’ll be so proud… You can call them Father and Son together-time visual aids!

    Just an accidental drop! Could happen to anyone.

    Honest Dad, I was just looking at them and they broke

    Let’s just figure you won’t have an allowance til you’re 15 Calvin.

  20. BC13

    BC13Genius_badge said, 4 months ago

    Why not just throw the binoculars to the ground like spiking a football. It’d take less time to break ‘em.

  21. Coffee-Turtle

    Coffee-TurtleGenius_badge said, 4 months ago

    I say this is Dad’s fault. :-) Why lend an expensive pair of binoculars to a six year old?

  22. ratlum

    ratlum said, 4 months ago

    Hide them then say some one stole them but then thats fibbing

  23. mjw22307

    mjw22307 said, 4 months ago

    Yes, I agree. Definately dad’s fault.

  24. cleokaya

    cleokayaGenius_badge said, 4 months ago

    Yup, dad was the irresponsible one. What person in his right mind would lend Calvin anything that could break. For crying out loud, look at his track record.

  25. Carmy

    CarmyGenius_badge said, 4 months ago

    I agree too. Dad should have known better.

    A hint for you ladywolf, think about the hit song for Kansas, Dust In The Wind.

  28. grazer

    grazer said, 4 months ago

    It’s clearly dad’s fault.
    If he would of taught his little boy how to toss and catch binoculars like a good dad should, this would never have happened.

    makes perfect sense to me!

    Add this to the list. Number one item is: Don’t run with scissors.

  31. benbrilling

    benbrillingGenius_badge said, 4 months ago

    The theory being, if you throw the binocs up into the air you can get a bird’s eye view.

  32. Mel(ody)

    Mel(ody)Genius_badge said, 4 months ago

    Ya gotta take a chance on ‘em, even if it is against your better judgement, and has the approximate chance of an icy projectile in an infernal region.

    Listen to the average accident victim and you will hear them say that the accident was “totally unexpected” even though it often seems obvious to the outside observer that the victim’s own conduct made the result inevitable. Nearly everyone has 20-20 hindsight. the ability to accurately predict consequences BEFORE causality is a hallmark of advanced intellect.

    calvin was trying to go through a time warp hoping to catch the binoculars in mid air, when accidentally on purpose they fell and broke

  35. StubbleJumper

    StubbleJumper said, 4 months ago

    Ah, memories. For me it was mom’s expensive horse figurine (Calvin’s age) then her big beveled plate glass mirror (old enough to know better age). Sorry mom!

  36. BC13

    BC13Genius_badge said, 4 months ago

    I don’t know why you’re all blaming Dad. Dad wasn’t the one throwing the binoculars up in the air. The excuse, “Because they were there” doesn’t work for me.

  37. Kerovan

    Kerovan said, 4 months ago

    Oh I get it. Lefty’s to blame. He can’t catch anything.

  38. Shikamoo

    ShikamooGenius_badge said, 4 months ago

    Translation: “I was being extra careful as I threw them to myself while running down the sidewalk!”

    -could happen to anyone.

    Yeah Calvin, it was just an accident… I’m sure your dad will see it that way! HAHAHA!

    Anyone notice how Calvin’s face becomes less and less emotional the closer and closer he comes to stating the truth? Maybe that should tell him something.
