Our Song To Chew today is MY DAD'S A JUNGLE GYM from my “Uh-Oh!" album. I used to carry my daughters around on my shoulders, or under my arms when they were little. Sometimes they'd get tired on a walk, and I'd carry them on my back. Eventually they'd wiggle free, hop down and run around again. Dads are generally less 'risk-adverse' than Moms, which means that we let our kids take more risks than Moms do. I'd let them stand on the roof of my van and hold out my arms and say, "Okay! Jump!", ... and they'd jump! I always caught them, and we'd laugh. Don't think I ever dropped them. Most Dads are not so worried about kids falling down and scraping a knee or getting a sun-burn. Doesn't mean we don't care, we're just less likely to think it's a big deal. We chew on some of these thoughts in this podcast, see what you think! I’m Peter Alsop. I hope all you Dads out there have a chance to be a Jungle Gym too! Bye for now!
