Cracking the Whip!

For his birthday, Jordan's employees at work gave him a whip. I'm not sure of the full scope of meaning that this gift intended (does he need to start cracking the whip or is he already known as someone that comes in and whips everyone into shape?) but at home his normal persona shifted to that of a regular Indiana Jones. As Indiana, he believed that wielding a whip would be easy and was excited to show off his rugged, manly skills. But quickly we all recalled Shorty's famous line in the The Temple of Doom...
..."Be careful."
We began to think about the benefits this might have in raising teenagers. And so Jordan practiced some more.

As so often happens, the teenagers attempt to one-up you. When you come to your senses and attempt to reaffirm your authority.....
...this is often the reaction. Hysterical laughing.

Hopefully Jordan has better luck at work.
