We Hate Life Jackets!

Yesterday I took Nate out on the boat with me. We were having a great time until my Mom totally embarrassed me by making us both wear our life jackets. I was like "What the heck Mom?" and Nate was like "Get this thing off of me!"

Wearing a life jacket is lame for more than one reason:
1) It corrupts my center of balance thus making me trip and fall and not be able to get back up.
2) It has a strap that goes in between my legs and rides up into my bottom.
3) It is bulky and does not allow me to take drinks from my sippy easily.
4) It makes me appear as if I have no neck.
5) I cannot perform the breaststroke properly while wearing it.
6) It just doesn't look cool!



After awhile we kinda got used to them and were able to move onto more important things such as fighting over who gets to drive the boat, play with the radio, and honk the horn. Just when we started having a good time the battery on the boat went dead. "Oh No!" I thought I might have to swim to get help. But our Dads swam across the lake to another boat and it pulled us back to shore. Then Nate and I argued over whose Daddy was stronger as his dad and mine swam ahead of the boat using ropes to pull it into our parking spot. We decided that it doesn't matter who is stronger, just that we love them a whole bunch!

  1. Dear Thomas,
    Sweetie, mom has to make you wear stuff like life jackets, a hat when it's cold, sunscreen... it's in her job description.
    Besides - you look great in blue!
    love you, big boy!
