- SOME FAMILY FUNNIES -
here's a few funny stories (at least we think they are) that deal with our family...
spike... aka 'poo sprayer' (pass this post if you're weak in the tummy) - this weekend we went camping & at one point spike had to empty the toilet water - there's a hose going from the camper to a hole in the ground that then leads off to 'poo land' somewhere - our hose was clogged so spike had to flush it out & when he did, there was such a gush of water pressure that it popped the hose out of the hole in the ground, spraying 'stuff' (you know what's inserted here) all over the ground of our camping neighbors (who by the way, were having some sort of get together for the holiday weekend) & they were so NOT impressed - he cleaned it all up, was a bit embarrassed by it, but we sure had a laugh over that one (no, we'd not have been laughing if it'd been us, but... )
'dustin's lunch' - when brit was in 3rd grade, dustin was a freshman - one day they were both up & getting ready for school - brit was in the bathroom when dustin's bus came so out the door he ran, got on the bus & off it went (keep in mind we're at the front of the addition, so it has to pass our house again on the way out) - it was just after the bus pulled away that i noticed dustin had forgotten his lunch - i yelled to brit to hurry up & run it outside right away to catch it on its way out - she quickly ran out of the bathroom, grabbed her fuzzy pink robe, slipped on her snowboots (keep in mind it's warm outside & no one's wearing boots, but that's the first thing she grabbed as she was in a hurry) - she caught the bus just as it was leaving & walked back into the house - the sight i saw was funny enough, but then this' what i heard her say, "mom, that was soooooooooo embarrassing as i was going to the bathroom when you yelled 'HURRY', so i jumped off the toilet, grabbed my robe, threw it on over my nightgown, went to grab shoes, but the snowboots were the first thing i grabbed so i put them on & it's not even cold outside! - when the bus pulled up, the driver told me to get on & take it to bub & mom, IT WAS FULL OF HIGHSCHOOLERS! - while standing for that long & waiting for the bus to even come, all our neighbors saw me dressed like that as they were driving by to go to work & to top it all off........... in all the hurry, I'D FORGOTTEN TO PULL MY PANTIES UP! - (it was then she removed her fuzzy robe, raised her nightgown up a bit & hanging down at the tops of her snowboots, were her panties) - we laughed about that for a long time (yes, we both did!) & then she said, "guess it was a good thing i'd messed up & grabbed the snowboots or my panties would've been down around my ankles! - we still get to laughing when that story's brought up!
'bloody knuckles' - we're always teasing brit that she'll never be able to operate a motorized vehicle as she's way to dangerous - for several years, when she'd go out to ride her bike, she'd return with bloody knuckels, skinned knees, etc. - we'd say, "how in the world do you do this all the time? - how'd your knuckles get so bloody?" - she'd then laugh & say, "well, i was riding my bike & looking behind me & you know the signs between the sidewalk & the road... well, i'd run into them & scrap my knuckles - we still tease her about that as if it were yesterday (& to think she's now getting ready to drive!!! - look out everyone!!)
'lucy ricardo' - last year brit was a freshman & was wanting her hair colored again - one night she & i were at dad & mom's house & she asked if we would color it there - we did it & ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyy goodnessssssssssssssss, it's NOT what it was supposed to be - my dad saw it & said, "lori, you can't let her go to school like that!" as it was lucy ricardo orange (pictured above) - after mom & i went back to CVS 2 times, purchased 3-4 more boxes of hair color (all different colors) & tried several before it was alright - she ended up loving the color & the end result & teases me now from time to time that she wants me to color it again, but this time she wants me to make it the 'end result' color & there's NO WAY i can duplicate that one (nor do i want to!)
