My wife would occasionally agree with you. 
Too many watches, not enough wrists.

Me pretending to eat a sandwich while my mother pretends to pour tea. The photographer from the local newspaper wanted an action-packed shot.
This was hop-picking, circa 1964. Seasonal work to boost the family income.
That's Mrs French and her children on the left. One family picked in each end of the hessian bin, which was picked up and moved down the row as you picked. Your clothes became impregnated with the hops and your fingers turned green.
Worryingly, photos like this now appear in books depicting bygone rural life...

Well, it is rural, and it is a bit "bygone" innit?

You must be a very proud father, and rightly so.

I would like to know the significance of the green beret there please. It's special forces in the U.S.
