The Future
So there I was at the park, trying to keep track of all three kids and carry on a conversation with my daughter's classmate's mom, when I realized that my son was not in my immediate eyesight.
He hadn't gone far. In fact, he was standing next to the drinking fountain. I turned my attention back to my youngest. A minute passed, and I heard a bellow. "Hey, Mama! Look!"
My son was standing on top of the drinking fountain, wearing sweatpants and yellow rain boots, naked from the waist up. He was swinging his wet shirt around his head in broad arcs in lariat-fashion, and swiveling his hips to enhance the total effect.
As I hustled over to the fountain to retrieve my good time boy, he egged me on with "Woo! Lookie! Woo! Yeah! Wooooo!"
I'm raising a future Chippendale dancer. Oh, help.

Would it strain our friendship if I tucked a coupla dollars into his rainboots...?

Yea, I know the feeling. My 4 y/o daughter does a nakey dance every night after her bath. We joke that 14 years & a pole is all that's keeping her from earning money.

Don't start worrying until he rips all his clothes down the seams and asks you to sew in velcro.

It's nice to know that he'll always be able to find work.

He's a good-time boy! What can you say? What a hoot! I'm sure this'll make for good storytelling when he brings home a serious girlfriend. "Remember when you were X old and you stood on top of that water fountain at the park..." Ha!

At least you spotted him before he got to the pants.

I can only assume that he saw you doing this for the hubs recently? ;)

First thought? I'd pay. Second thought? It will buy you alcohol.
