Frolicking, rollicking rage

on March 3, 2012

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!

    I must say you like living dangerously … on the edge as it were …

      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. 😀

    Our kids are so scary, aren’t they? Makes me wish they were still small.

    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?

    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).
