Fun times

This is not exactly “On Golden Pond”, is it?

someone helps Adam to sew the gap between reality and TV

The movie might have been THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER (1938). Early in the film, there was a long scene of the hero and his friends swinging from vines and jumping into “the li’l ole swimmin’ hole”—all while stark naked!

Granted it was a long shot, but I still don’t understand how it got past the Hay’s Office, which forbade even the depiction of infants’ bare bottoms.

Then there were the boys in “Stand By Me”, wading through the swamy pond … that was full of leeches. Yipe! (not to mention, Yewwww!)

When Katy grows up and gets married she’s gonna eat her man up alive like a Black Widow spider.

They were young and naive, Adam. Now they know better than to let joy of the moment interfere with their snit.

We’re the alpha predator in promotional materials only. The teeny tiny critters can still bring us down.

Introducing your children to things you like is admirable. Not listening to them when they say they don’t like it is less admirable.

Is this one of those things that people pay a therapist to talk about?

I’m with the kids Adam. Release them from the nightmare!

I still predict leeches in the near future.

In the part of the country where I grew up, people would throw bottles into small ponds and shoot at them. One glass cut takes all the fun out of skinny-dipping.

Inside Katy is probably enjoy it, but it’s in her nature to complain.

Wait until someone walks out of the water with a bloody foot, or worse.

“This reminds me of another classic movie: Stand By Me.” – “What? Because of the bonding?” – “Because I think I see a dead body floating in the swamp over there!”

How can Clayton, the big Halloween fan, be squicked out by gooey, creepy things in a pond?

Adam’s delusional….

That is pure bait for ‘Sorry dad, I thought we gave you a Father’s Day present. I turns out that was a movie.’

Who’s property is that swimming hole on??…
