Do I Have Something on My Face?

We had an incident tonight. Let me lay the groundwork for this story: Cameron, Reilly, and I walked to the mailbox tonight. When we came back into the house, I noticed that Reilly was by my side licking the floor and then my leg. I felt something warm on my arm and saw that Cameron had spit up and it was dripping down my arm. So I put Cameron down on the couch and started to wipe off his face. And then Reilly looked up at me, and I saw this:

Poor doggie!

  1. This is good stuff…way to go Cam! I believe he (Cameron) is merely trying to take the lead in the very healthy and always enjoyable sibling competition. Let’s score one for Cameron in the social skills category. I don’t know about you, but when I’m in a social environment with people/dogs/clowns/etc. that I don’t like, I also spit on them. This is likely the first of many acts in which Cameron will display his “you ain’t got nothing on me” mentality. In addition, it might be worth scoring one for Cameron in the athleticism category. Am I the only one amazed at Cameron’s ability to hit the bullseye with his spit? If I were going to spit on someone I would certainly aim directly between the eyes (and likely not get anywhere close). If he doesn’t pursue a career in professional spitting, he can always try archery. Did someone say 2028 Summery Olympics?

    One other comment about Mike’s…err…this blog. I’m a bit confused by the current poll. I’m just not sure how to answer the question. Typically, categorical questions like this have answer options that are both mutually exclusive and completely exhaustive. Exhaustiveness (is that a word?) isn’t really important in this situation, but I think exclusivity is. For example, what if I believe that 5’7” is too short for a man? What would I answer? Option 1? Option 2? They both would be correct. I only mention this because questions like this limit the analytical capabilities on the back-end. I want you to have as rich of data as possible so that you will know, with confidence, what the world thinks is too short. But even after you have the results; it’s important to remember that defining “too short” is a lot like defining a “good” athlete. It’s difficult to do, but you know it when you see it (e.g. a kid nailing a dog between the eyes with spit=good athlete).
