Oh, I see now what you're doing while I'm at work! :eek:
Unlike you, I am capable of multi-tasking. I was mediating a fight between the kids over toys at the same time, with "Schooled" on in the background, while sitting with the laptop in the living room. I believe the dog was looking for attention, too.

Can't leave the kids unsupervised while they're fighting over toys anyway so I may as well make the best of it. ;)

Yesterday was very entertaining for watching "Canoe Gapers" over at the North Bridge (Concord, Mass.) I biked over for a little r&r and tourist gawking to entertain myself.

If you're unfamiliar, canoes are rented to tourists to paddle around the river. Gaper = clueless, right? In a half hour, I saw:
1. A woman and daughter paddling forward, but moving backwards in the water
2. A couple that couldn't figure out the back of the boat from the front
3. Another woman and daughter who spent ten minutes trying to pass under the bridge (20-foot width) (they kept hitting one piling or another).
4. A mother who upon coming up to shore, couldn't figure out how to get out (I lended an assist when it appeared she would step ontop of her 1 year old child.
5. A family full boat, stern of boat aground for debarking, remainder of boat is afloat; Mother tells all the kids "get out", they all STAND UP!
6. A boat, fully on shore. first teenager gets in, sits down. Second teen struggles for five minutes to push the boat into the water.

Another reason more kids (and adults) should go to camp or log off the freaking computer!
