The human trampoline

In addition to being smart, talented, and handsome, Oliver is also a catalyst for deep philosophical thoughts about self and identity. As an example, Tim would never have described himself as -- or even known that he aspired to be --a human trampoline; and yet, in the context of Oliver, one is simply happy to be whatever makes Oliver happy (along with healthy and safe, of course). If Oliver wishes to jump on Tim's tummy, well... perhaps it is time for Tim to re-evaluate his aspirations.
In this picture, Oliver was just standing on Tim's tummy while enjoying his mother's re-enactment of something they saw on Dancing with the Stars...
