One day, an optimistic father and
mother wanted to take five children to the beach. It was winter, but as it was
not raining they decided to have some fun family time. They even brought the
dog! Alas, when they arrived at the beach within minutes it started pouring
rain. One of their sons made the poor decision to throw the ball into the cold
ocean water, thereby making their dog into a stinky, pitiable creature and
landing the son in trouble. As everyone was soon wet and cranky, the beach day
was cut dramatically short. We hear them on their way home:
Baby: “Waaaaaaah!!!!!!”
Grumpy Teenage Son: “THIS is why we shouldn’t do family
outings anymore, they always end like this!”
Snarky Teenage Daughter: “Yes, then we always have to hear
YOU complain about it.”
Irritable Mother: “Yes, then we have to hear you being
snarky to your brother!”
Baby: “Waaaaaaah!!!!”
Daddy, angrily: “Everyone, BE QUIET!”
Little girl, 2: “Waaaaaah!!!”
Annoying Son(who got the dog wet), in a mocking, exaggerated
voice: “Waaaaaaah!!!”
The two parents: "Sigh....."
Will these two naive, optimistic parents ever learn? Stay tuned to find out!
