Nuff Ting Gwon: Photography, Film & Adventure

Sammy, Subby, Christina & Benji

Christina and Benji just left my place in Toronto, to head back home out east. We had a blast while they were here. They pretty much take care of themselves. They are like the kind of kids I want to have; independent, can cook, clean themselves, pay their own way and don’t do drugs. I did realize that I think I’m going to too laid back of a parent though. If ever in doubt about things like bedtimes I would simply ask them what I should do. I would ask them “when do you feel like going to bed”, which they responded “about 2am”. I think it’s fairly reasonable for an 9 year old to stay up until 2 on a Wednesday!

We had a great time though, we strolled around downtown, Kensington market, queen st, skydome. We even went to a busker festival to watch some really entertaining performers eat fire and make gay jokes to crowds of kids. Pretty unacceptable humor for 4 year olds, but they all seemed to get a kick out of it, so who I am to say to say when kids should start to be exposed to adult humor.



Sammy and Sub and I also took the kids swimming at the pool in my building. Sam was teaching Benji how to swim. He already knew how to do the doggy paddle, but she wanted to teach him the overhead stroke. Here is the somewhat successful result.


Sammy teaching benji how to swim: He's so cute, but look at how afriad he is.
