After dinner the kids enticed me to come outside. The wife suggested that it would be a good idea if I saw the outside world, so I cautiously poked my head out the door. Fortunately the poisonous UV rays of twilight did not strike me with instant blindness, burning skin or even a faint sense of nausea. Soon I discovered that the dog is still alive (and remembers me), the grass has been mowed (by somone else) and the air smells different when it isn't pumped through an aircon.
Next thing I know 3 girls and I are involved in a mad game of Tag, you're it. I am sure the neighbours (whose house unfortunately hasn't drifted away with tectonic plate movements while I have been locked inside) thought that wild Indians were coming to scalp them.
Eventually we ran out of steam, and came inside to wash off, and then settle down for stories. The kids are just playing little pet shop at the moment and shortly I will be immersed in the worlds of Pooh Bear, Narnia and Lord of the Rings.
What do you do to relax after work with your kids?
