Dad is writhing on the ground due to an inability to react quickly, or
at least anticipate the child's trajectory. A simple hip twist or a
quick scooping up of the incoming projectile gets the boys out of the
danger zone. :)
Yep. Sometimes, dad is the object of such forceful attention precisely
because his attention is directed elsewhere... On the phone, talking
to someone at a party, and so forth. And don't start lecturing me on
my neglectful parenting, either :-).
