How many times did Capri have to climb the rock wall before I successfully captured her conquest on video? Well, being a concerned parent, I got so nervous every time she neared the summit that I would take my eyes off my video assignment and watch her final steps. As a result, I kept dropping Capri out of the frame and missing her special moment. We repeated this process several times before I finally got it right, risking my daughter's life and limbs over and over again.

This was me: "Uh, Capri, can you climb the wall again?"

But "being a good parent" is not an accurate excuse for my video problems. At the Teachers vs. Students soccer match I was taking some video when the teachers broke away with the ball and flew towards the goal. As Mr. Espinosa passed the ball off his right shin to Mr. Ramirez in front of the goal, I got so excited that I took my eyes off the camera in anticipation. GOAL!!! The crowd went wild, I shouted my approval, then realized my camera was pointing to the back corner of the field, just to the left of the net. I had missed the shot!

This was me: "Oh dude, you are such a dork!"
