We took the kids to the park today. I noticed a father and his eightish daughter. She was going across the monkey bars and she dropped as she got to the last one.
"What are you doing?" he yelled.
"I slipped." she said.
"Do it again!" he shouted.
So she went back to the start and tried again. Only this time, she fell off on the very first rung.
"What happened?" he screamed at her.
"My hands are sweaty!" she explained.
So what did he do? He berated her and then explained to her the "proper way" to go across the monkey bars. And then in case she wasn't getting it, he climbed up on the monkey bars and demonstrated it for her.
What the hell? Are the monkey bars an event in the 2012 Olympics and I'm just not aware of it?
