Ben by Daniel Shelton for August 02, 2024

Obviously you need a cooldown.

Yep. Men are the disposable critical resource. You figure it out, I never could.

Liv needs to keep up. Playing in the rain, being cold, none of it has anything to do with getting sick. If he’s having fun, let him play and have a towel ready for him when he’s done.

If it’s a warm summer rain there’s nothing wrong with playing in it

Well if you know when to get out of the rain, Ben.

forget it – the last one thought about is grandpa

My sister an brothers would put our bathing suits on and run around on the lawn in the rain. And our mom enjoyed the moment of peace in the house.

Ben has lived a long and happy life. Suck it up, she worries more about the grandchildren than you.

I don’t get it, lady. The kid has a roof over his head.

You don’t count, Grandpa, obviously.

You don’t get sick from getting your clothes wet. If that were the case, every beach would be quarantined.

Ben, you’re doing the right thing.

I was told that one cannot remain outside in the rain (other than a quick run from/to car, house, etc if already out) as the lightning will be attacked to one as one is taller than than ground and will strike. I was told this starting when I was young and it would start to rain while we were at the beach in bathing suits and would have to leave the beach.
