Joust plain silly...

Earlier this week I referenced some of the fun games adults can get away with playing as long as they include their children. But there are other games that, if you're over roughly 48" tall, you could be amongst a whole group of kids and, there's just no getting around it, you're still going to look ridiculous. Case in point...

Jeff earned all kinds of Daddy of the Year/MacGyver points for creating a brave knight using only a cardboard box, tinfoil, duct tape and a preschooler. And he gets oodles of bonus points for actually sword fighting this young gladiator.

But one look at Jeff in the top photo with a box on his head and I start laughing all over again.

Incidentally, if points are awarded for taking one for the team, Jeff earned some of those, too. AJ tends to take these jousts just a bit too seriously.

Luckily, the battlefield medic is always willing to jump into the fray. I wouldn't be surprised if she'd been cheering on AJ to bring her a patient.
