My wife screamed.....

[Dr Mordrid]

I was putting our digital cam back in its case when I heard my wife scream like a banshee with its tail on fire. She had just gone outside on an "Erik hunt", and when she found him this scene brought on the the acustic fireworks;



He's about 16-18 feet up the maple tree in our front yard.

She's now totally convinced he has a full dose of my type T personality

That would have been me as a child, but damn if I can get my son to even think about climbing a tree.

I used to climb in my grandma's old oak tree. Could get a good 20 feet up with ease. We used to play tag in the trees. I love old oak trees.

We had some huge oak, walnut and cottonwood trees we used to climb. Those cottonwoods could easily go 80-100 feet, which of course thrilled my mother to death

Hope she calms down.. while I have a healthy respect for potential energy (fear of heights) I wouldn't think twice about climbing a tree like that. (It's when you put me on a precipice with nothing to grab hold of, and gravity seems to want to suck me down.. "shudder")

WTF is a "type t personality"?

Anyway, she needs to lighten up. When I was his age, climbing trees is far from the most dangerous stuff I was doing.

They fall... they get back up, kids are so flexible so they should experience it as everyone else had, even me

Cheers,

LOL, that is a good one.

Type T on the Meyers-Briggs scale = thrill/arousal seeking, intuitive, perceptive etc.
