Why is it that when you warn 39 kids not to go near the marsh, say it 20 times, tell them you really mean it, at least 25 of them will still go too close to the marsh and at least one will fall in and then whine the entire day because his foot is wet.
Also, why is that one kid that falls in always mine?
Actually, I'm kidding. Jared did great. He didn't disobey.
Now, how do you get marsh water out of your socks? I just bought them and I want to wear them again. :o

LOL!
But it was me that went too close and got sucked in. That marsh land is like quick sand, only stinkier.
Jared and the other 3 kids in my group all told me to stay back. Of course I'm saying "No, no boys, I'm okay, I'm an adult, I just want to get a closer look at that....ahhhhh....I'm sinking....HELP!!!!!"
I have to say that they all rushed to my rescue. Four 11 year olds coming to save me. Ya, I can charm men of all ages. I'm all that. :) ;)

Thankfully there are no pictures, so you'll just have to be content with the pictures in your head, which I'm sure are better then what actually happened. ;)
I did redeem myself later when I caught a frog. The kids thought I was so uber cool because I wasn't afraid of it. Then they totally freaked out (in a good way) when I picked up a spider. At the end of the trip they were all telling Jared that I have to come to every field trip, I just have to stay away from bodies of water. :rolleyes:

So a girl at the hospital tells me today that she's absconded an instrument in my area to fix a Really Big Problem, so no touchie.
What do I do?
Immediately go over, touch the crap out of it and tell her "when a girl tells a naughty boy to not touch something... what do you think is going to happen?"
She shouldve expected as much from me.
...
As for the marsh madness... I practically did the same crap as a kid. School trip to a big park with nicely designed and designated visitor areas... and then there's the muddy mess on the other side of the ropes.
Told us to stay in proper areas.
That lasted as long as it took to see chaperone eyes focused on hot dogs and buns. Outtie.
Two memories from that jail break...
The first was when four kids called me chicken.. and four is a quorum in kid circles... so I jumped. Leaped off a ledge, over the creek, to the muddy bankside below. Seemed like 20 feet... was no more than 10 high. Definitely at least an 8 foot drop.
Made it. No ankles snapped. But my newish right shoe was left behind... in the muck and the mud.
Was able to get it out, but it was a wet muddy mess. That didn't damper my day at all, but I sure made it seem like it was inconvenient for me to have a squishy shoe when me madre railed me for the dirty tenny.
Second memory? Being the lead guy in a group of kids (and the school bus driver!) walking though a huge drainage pipe (about 40 feet long) and screaming "alligator!!!!!" and hitting my head on the ceiling.
Of course, it wasn't an alligator. It was a really big rock in a dark drainage pipe. But better safe than sorry when you are the lead guy, I think.
Wow this was long... all to say kids will be kids and I'm jealous... best part of being a daddy is I get to blame the little spud for my silliness.

That's the best part of having kids.
I volunteer for most of the field trips my kids go on. Two in the last two weeks. :)
Today, one of the kids in my group said "I think we should thank Jareds mom for coming on all these field trips. She could be sitting at home, in front of the tv, eating chips, like my mom". Made me proud and sad at the same time.
Truth is, I joke about the trips, but I love it. I even love walking around with wet marshy shoes all day, because at the end of the day, I know the kids had a blast and I gave them a day to remember.
Jared gave me a huge hug, in front of his friends (which has recently become a big no no) and told me how happy he was to be my kid. Stupid tears didn't hold back, so I pretended I got a bug in my eye. I think they bought it.
Bottom line. I love those little stinkers and they're only kids for a while. Before I know it they'll be all grown up, but I'll have my memories, and so will they.
Okay, mushy moment over. Nothing to see here. I am tough! Whimper.
