Son is experiencing some predictable rage due to the frustration of not being able to do very much within the confines of his chest-to-hip surgical brace.
Nevertheless, and despite my fear and trembling, I just asked Son if I could take a picture of him with Husband. He reluctantly agreed after I gave him a hot meat pie, some mango yoghurt and his favourite chocolates.
Son: She only wants the picture for that bloody blog, Dad.
Husband: Well, that’s okay isn’t it?
Me: Will you guys shut up and smile? Please!
Mostly Son is very good at restraining his rage but every now and then it unleashes itself in the form of a fake smile. Or maybe it’s best described as a forced smile – a smile before the storm? If he discovers I have blogged these photos I will be in big trouble!
So I’m going outside to find Godfrey because he’s not so scary!
Maybe I’ll just camp out tonight. Wouldn’t you? I mean look at this beautiful angry face – yikes!




A smile before the storm. Brilliant!
Funny stuff.
Yeah – funny-scary!
I must say you like living dangerously … on the edge as it were …
Ha!
You’re gamer than I 🙂
Son will eventually discover the post because of its link to facebook. But he no longer looks at my blog so I think I am safe (for the time being!)
Hi,
Good on you for getting the photos, and they are pretty good as well. 😀
Thanks – they were pretty rushed photos!
Well blogged.
Thanks – you are a great mentor!
Our kids are so scary, aren’t they? Makes me wish they were still small.
I suppose it’s better than them being scared of us – but yes!
So Julie, let’s say he does find them and get’s angry… Well then, he’s got all day to get over it. Right?
😉
Love this post! ~ Lynda
You are right!
I agree with Ingrid – you sure DO enjoy living dangerously Julie.
I wouldn’t be in your shoes for anything.
If you wish to live to a ripe old age, I highly recommend you don’t post any baby photos of Son lying naked on a bunny rug.
Now THAT might make Son really, really mad. (says Victoria with big grin on face).
Baby photos – what a good idea – haha (evil laugh!)
