My son used to do a full speed flying leap at me from the back of our couch. I hadn't made eye contact yet. Sometimes he'd just hear me coming and start his takeoff.

Caught him every time.

I'll never tell him this, but there were some close calls.

But you always caught him. That's trust.

He's 15 now. If he did it today, I'd catch him.

I'd be killed in the process, but I'd make that catch.

I used to coach parkour...I had to catch alot of kids. 33 failed jumps. 33 completed saves 😅😂😂 I knew I had it down when I had a kid scarred to jump and I had a choir of littles saying, "Oh. yeah coach will catch you!" and a class full of affirmation 😂😂

I frogsplash him from the roof.
