What Happens When...

What happens when...your child goes swimming in a public toilet, I mean swimming pool? He gets pink eye. Kidscare visit and $25 later, antibiotic eye drops. It cleared up 3 days later. I swear this was the best picture out of about 15 I tried getting. I ended up turning off the flash worried that I was going to further aggrevate said pink eye.

What happens when...Mom leaves the house for Sunday morning meeting? Mom comes home and finds this on the couch. I know, it's precious, and I have the two most handsome boys in Plain City.
What happens when...you go on a family vacation to Fish Lake and your sister says your not "outdoorsey"? You freakin show her how "outdoorsey" you are and catch the first freakin' fish when your 2.5 minutes out onto the lake. Suck it! (And no, I do not touch nor eat fish.) What happens when...five minutes later your sister catches a bigger fish than you? You shut up.

What happens when...your trolling along and your dad says, "I just got a nibble, no it was a hard hit," but refuses to bring in his line because the "hard hit" keeps coming and going? You find out after you pull in the copper line that he has "caught" a large piece of petrified fish poo that has been at the bottom of Fish Lake since the dinosaurs. What happens when...you think your child is developing cabin fever? You drag him down to Fish Lake and take off his socks and make him splash his itsy bitsy feetsies in freezing water. But he loved it. He loved the walk, which may I say we were having a grand time until I came across a sign that said, "Fish Lake is Black Bear Country," to which we promptly turned around and returned to the cabin.

What happens when...you go to Smith & Edwards and see that life jackets are on sale? You buy one and make your 11 month old wear it and go for a ride in the boat. Brody loved it, but Blake REALLY loved it. On a personal note, Blake said to me how special it was that he got to take Brody out in the boat because he never got to go boating with his dad. What happens when...your husband puts you in a half-nelson and you try to escape by kicking him in the knee-caps and stepping on his insoles? You get punished by breaking your toe. I could hardly walk on it yesterday but today it feels much better. Thanks for asking.
