Old Fashion Time Game
(mouse over image)
Tonight, after dinner, Harrison played this "Old Fashion Time Game" (his words). This game obviously requires a fork, a cup, and one of Dad's old beer bottle caps. Yeah. Pretty sad. Almost Walker Evans sad. I should have changed the photo to black & white to really bring out the Rural South / Post Depression pathos of a boy playing catapult with his Pa's discarded bottle caps (but if I'd done that you would have missed out on all the great reds in the photo). So where was I? Oh right. Walker Evans. Old Fashion Time Game. Yeah, so that's the kind of fun we're having around the house tonight. Maybe tomorrow night we'll go play kick the can in the street.
Anyway, as sad as that is, after I took his picture, Harrison said, "Dad, you should put that on the blog."
My 6 year old son used the word blog.
Now that's 21st Century sad.
