Carpenter Cambel

Some mornings Cambel gets busy with his tools and "builds" me a house. Of course, after all his work is complete, he has to give me a tour of the finished product (which looks remarkably similar to the house we already live in). On this particular day, he felt the need to work without his shirt, and alongside his fellow builder Jim (who happens to be invisible). Cambel's tour of the finished home was so funny that I couldn't resist grabbing the camera (which I then immediately rotated to get a better view while forgetting that video cannot be rotated. One of these days I will remember that important point before I upload it to the computer). My favorite things about his descriptions are:
1. They usually make little, if any sense. 
2. He shows me things that a builder would never make, like pillows. 
3. He takes on a very authoritative voice. 
4. He uses grandiose arm and hand gestures.
I find this all very funny and endearing, but then again, I gave birth to him. 
You can watch too, but remember to lay on your side or turn your computer screen...and that since you are not his mother you may not find it as humorous as I do.
It's your time though...waste it well.  

Click here for Cambel's showing of the house.  (it will begin after a short minute or two of convincing him to begin, instead of showing me his own "pictures" on what happens to be a broken watch).

This was pretty funny. Cambel has an amazing imagination. I could see some of Kevin's gestures as Cambel was showing you the house. This will be fun to look back on years from now.

I need to meet Cambel... I'd love for him to build me a house, with pillows included. SO cute!

That was great. I did indeed laugh. I do the same thing when taking videos, so you are not the only one.
