jet lag had the kids waking up each day before the army. coupled with the fact that kelley's family sleeps in until around 1pm, this severely complicated the logistics of keeping the house quiet in the morning. so, i made daily use of a playground on the apartment property. at the first peep i heard at dawn, i rolled out of bed and marshaled the kids up to the park. at the early hour of our arrival, we often had the park to ourselves- or so i thought. on the last full day of our trip, i returned from our morning outing, and my brother in law, jeong seok informed me that he had been watching us. he turned the tv to a closed circuit channel live video feed of the playground. if you spent a weeks worth of mornings thinking you were all alone, how much of your conduct would, in retrospect, still be appropriate? i think i ran about 25%. things i will not be doing on my next trip to the playground include:
- throwing rocks at cats
- cleaning my ears with my finger
- eating m&m's off the ground
- two-handed nose picking
- directing my son to urinate in the bushes
- manual ear and nose hair extraction
- personally urinating in the bushes
- scratching, adjusting, and generally inappropriate prodding of the "bathing suit" area
come to think of it, i might not be going back to the park at all...
