I hope they didn't live too far away. The child would be freezing cold and wet. Might have even got sick after this.

Exactly what I was thinking. The best thing to do would be to get them out of their freezing wet clothes and wrapped up in a blanket/adults jacket and straight home.

But the child is tucked under his dad's arm like a sopping wet rag doll. Cultivating pneumonia no doubt.

you got to imagine he got home and told the other half the kid had slipped in a puddle and was grand and that was the end of it.

THEN SHE PICKED UP TODAYS PAPER!!!!!!

oh to be a fly on the wall in that room this morning

:D:D:D:D:D

It looks like the kid was nominated to down a pint at Bullock Harbour in that weather.

So what's the problem?

The big guy looks intimidating alright but I'd say he's going to face worse at home. If I was those kids mother I'd go ballistic seeing those pics.

The dad (or uncle or whatever) is no kid either, definitely old enough to know better with all that grey hair.

Fair play to that guy giving the dad a piece of his mind. Id like to shake his hand. The dad was probably saying something like "my kids are none of your business" or some such... Not even thinking of the INLI volunteers who risk their lives for the likes of him..

On the other hand, I remember doing something quite similar with my dad when hurricane charlie was in town in the 80s... got bloody soaked... but that is one of the few memories I actually recall with my dad. Fantastic fun for a 6 year old in the 80s

Are we positive that it was a child and not a rag doll?

Driving to the shop either on the father's knee "controlling the steering wheel" or sitting in the passenger seat with him throwing his arm across me whenever there was a bend or a sudden change in speed

Yes, clearly we should have stopped learning somewhere around 1985, sure we knew everything at that stage.

It's the sun and the indo, we#re not positive of anything. Could have been hired actors for all we know

I'm gonna hold my hands up now and admit that on a scale of "one to ten of even dodgier things you've done with your kids" that's about a 3 on the scale. "Ohh that looks dangerous" was usually the starting point. Happily.
