Lio by Mark Tatulli for July 16, 2012

Dad loves that invention!

makes me wonder how Edison’s and Bell’s fathers would’ve reacted to a phonograph and telephone

Methinks this is a repeat.

No good deed goes unpunished

Lio’s invention was very canny. Dad’s direction puts it to practical use. Hurray for the team of Lio and Dad!

Never try to impress your parents. They usually say things like: “I did that when I was younger then you.”“Yes, dear; now put it away it’s dinner time.”“You can do that but you won’t keep your room clean.”“Don’t be stupid.” Et cetera.

Real-world physics would prevent him from lifting both of those in front of him at the same time. The center of mass would be between him and the garbage, so he would tip forward and wouldn’t be able to lift with one claw unless the other claw was pushing against the ground. And then there’s the strain on his little shoulders…

WOW! First time ever…I’ve seen dad delighted with Lio.

That is rather a lot of trash for only two people. Guess they never took it out at all until the Giant Grabbers got invented.

They’ll do in a pinch.

Perfect

Sorry about the repeats this week, Folks! I was on a much needed vacation that week! Needed to recharge the batteries!

As a dad myself … GO DAD!!!!

hey! He’s got my arms!

Enjoy your vacation Mr. Tatulli.

The vacation is over…it was two weeks ago. But it was a great time, in Outer Banks North Carolina…Corolla! Just beautiful! I’m still feelin it!
