Mr. Prune

Have you seen the movie The Incredibles yet? It’s a fantastic flick. In the movie they talk about a wide range of super heroes with a range of interesting names and powers.

Last night I think I could have taken on the super hero name of Mr. Prune. I’m not sure what my super powers would have been but my skin was as wrinkled as a prune.

When I got home from work it was quite hot so Emily, James and I headed to our backyard pool to cool down. After a little while the neighbours came and joined us so I stayed swimming for a while longer.

Then some friends called and we arranged for them to drop over for a swim and dinner. That meant even more time in the pool.

It was a wonderful way to end the day but I was wondering if my wrinkly skin would ever straighten out again.

  • Rodney, it’s so funny to read about you being hot and going swimming. It’s only going to get up to about 25 degrees here today, and local schoolkids have had no school for the past two days because of the snow! (I can’t WAIT till summer!:))

  • that’s so interesting that you are talking about superheroes today because on http://www.blogin_idiot.blogspot.com, there is a great post on superheroes . . . you guys must be on the same wave length . . . and re the swim . . . sigh . . . we just finished a cold snap (-40C) and are getting warmer weather (-20C) but we’d have to use an ice auger to get in the pool! blessings, saija

  • I can imagine that Mr Prune would be extremely strong.
