Life can be uncertain.  Many things can cause stress.  Well, I’m here to tell you, “Don’t be scared, because things aren’t always as bad as they seem.”  Now, I know you’re saying, “Dave, what a hill of beans” (or perhaps you are thinking something worse), but I have photographic proof.

Take for instance, this creepy bag that I discovered in the kitchen the other night.  When the lights are on, everything appears normal.  When the lights are off, an eerie glow appears.  What is it?  Smuggled uranium?  Zombie generating ooze?  Some toxic spill?

 

Nope, just some free glow-in-the-dark silly glasses that my kids got at the annual holiday parade, modeled below by my three sons, who are shown being appropriately silly.

Now, I know you’re thinking, “Dave, that’s stupid and doesn’t prove anything.”  Well, you are sort of right on both counts, so let me try again.

Take for instance the photo below…

Am I scared of walruses?

Or worse, am I seeking protection from the momma walrus, as something far more sinister from the artic approaches?

Or even worse, did I hit my head and begin to believe I was part of a walrus family?

No on all accounts.  The person who is actually frightened in this photo is my wife.  Yep, her fear was that I was going to spend the rest of the day making her take pictures of me with animal statuary.  Well, she really did not have to worry.  Although I thought about it, I love her and therefore resisted the temptation and this was the only animal statue photo that I requested during the entire day.  I even displayed super duper willpower and did not even mention the possibility of a photo with a cool metal T-Rex skeleton statue.  Ha!  Proof positive that things are often not as bad as they seem.
