James and the Giant Waterslide

Last Saturday I was able to spend some time at a party with my 2nd favorite little boy, James. He is my boss' 2 yr old who for whatever unexplicable reason, thinks I'm the coolest. Maybe because I know all the characters in the movies "The Incredibles" and "Cars"..

The funny thing about James is he is SUPER cautious. There was a giant waterslide and his mom kept asking if he wanted to go down it and he kept saying no. He sat in the house playing with his cars. I finally asked him if he would go down the slide with me and suddenly it sounded like a good idea. I perhaps should have thought this through....

Why would it be a good idea to be responsible for my boss' first born, on a really steep ride, that deep down, when honest with myself, I knew he was terrified of? No, it'll be more fun with a kid! So I carry him all the way to the top and we position ourselves to slide down...

At the top it occurs to me, this is not smart. If something happens to this kid, there are witnesses. Oh yeah, and there is his mother filming this...evidence!! What am I thinking!!??? Wave to your mom James, here we go!

James stood up as soon as we hit the water and started screaming bloody murder. I couldn't stop laughing because he made this face... he then immediately rode it again with his dad.
