Robin and I and our children took off after work today for a short road trip up to Greenville to Kohls to get some new luggage (part of the Dylster's graduation gift) and a few other items. We stopped along the way at a place called the Red Robin for dinner. Ash loves to take her camera everywhere she goes therefore she snapped a few pictures at the restaurant.
I borrowed her camera long enough to snap a quick (slightly wobbly) photo of my reluctant to pose children. Notice the excitment in both of their eyes at their Father's mere suggestion that they should put their heads a little closer in order to be in the frame. Ugh.
A few minutes later, Ash asked Robin and I to pose holding the Red Robin glass (which we purchased so my wife could have a glass with her name on it when we got home). Apparently as I was positioning the glass and trying to get my hand out of the logo, Dyl suggested to my wife (his mother) that she should "nad" me while his sister was taking the picture.
Let me just say that in 20 years of marriage, I don't think I've ever been "nadded" by my wife. If you aren't familiar with the fine art of "nadding" I'm sure there is material in your local library or somewhere on the vast internet that can educate you.
Sure enough, as the flash was going off from my daughter's camera, I felt an unpleasant sensation in my nether regions and we now have photographic evidence to prove it all took place. I present exhibit A
Please note the guilty (way too much enjoyment) look on the perpetrator's face. Also note the "wind knocked out of me" grimace at the moment of impact that was magically captured by my daughter, similar to the famous Abraham Zapruder tape.
Of course, all of this provided a barrel full of laughs to the other three parties at my table. It took me a few minutes to find the humor but it's worth it in the end only for blogging purposes.
BTW...here is the keepsake that we brought home.

Hilarious photo! Remember, I'm laughing with you.
This may be your best post ever! We are all laughing at your pain. Sorry. It is a funny picture.
Luggage huh? Sounds like someone is in a hurry to leave or have Dylan leave. I think Dylan is a pretty cool guy. I wish I had real time radio broadcasts of my or my childrens birth announcement (funkecast 7). Happy Birthday and Graduation Dylan !!!!!
I feel your pain!!!!!
Great post! One of my two favorite restaurants! We disocovered Red Robin while living in the Seattle area and missed it for several years until they have finally branched out to this area of the country -- Yeah!
So sorry for your pain during the picture bro! It's amazing what you'll do (or your wife will do to you) for an great blog entry!
Your photo reminds me of the Red Robin up in the Skagit Valley of Washington where we used to go see the Tulip fields every spring. It's a great place to see hundreds and hundreds of acres of tulips in nearly every color imaginable.
