I had a stress dream last night in which it was several weeks into the college semester and I left my first class and realized a) I didn’t know which class I had next or where it was—and the copious number of file folders in my bag were not labeled well enough to tell me—and b) I was at least 2 or 3 assignments behind in math.
You know those online quizzes you’re supposed to take to see which Harry Potter character you are? It’s crystal clear to me that I don’t need to waste the time. I already know which character I am.
Ahem.
You know what? I think today calls for a short “Friday Funnies.”
1: Things you might hear on a trail ride from the guide, who is leading Julianna by the rope:
“Oh, there aren’t any crocodiles in the mountains.”
2. Things you might hear on a hike in the Rocky Mountains when it’s sort of
raining and everyone is wearing rain ponchos:
Nicholas: “I’m Batman!”
Michael: “I’m Nightwing!”
Nicholas: “I’m Batman!”
Michael: “I’m Nightwing!”
Nicholas: “I’m Batman!”
Michael: “I’m Robin!”
Julianna: “I’m Frozen!”
3. This. Just this.
This was taken in the parking lot for the Cub Lake Trailhead at RMNP. We had to wait out a thunderstorm before we started hiking. It was a doozy, I’ll admit, but the look on Nicholas’ face cracks me up.
4. Then and now, at the Fall River Visitors Center, just for fun:
2013 (Michael was sleeping in the car)
2017. Note Alex’s eye roll. It was deliberate. He said, “Mom, did you get my eye roll?” Sigh.
