Danger on a Ladder (Catchup Post)

While I was wrapping up the painting on the front of our house, Ian had a friend over. We love to have Ian's little buddies over. Ian gets more peer interaction, we get to help out some fellow parents, and Deb & I are able to get something done. Win-win-win, right?

While on the ladder shown above, I was listening to the radio, but was able to catch this tail end of a conversation between Ian and a friend, both holding pretend lightsabers:

"...Dad up on a ladder!"
"Yeah! Let's whack it!"

Wrong.

I'm not scared of ladders; I just have a greater respect for gravity (and its consequences) while I'm on one. That bright idea got shut down, right away.
