Joe (from his recliner): BOYS!!!!!! What is going on up there????
Boys (in unison): Nothing, dad.
And yet an hour later, Joe wandered upstairs to find Jack's bed cracked in half.
Cracked.
In.
Half.
Joe: HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? AND WHY DIDN'T YOU COME TELL ME?
Boys (in garbled unison): We didn't know it ...uh...broke. We were playing football.
Thankfully, my husband is a handy, handy man:

I haven't the heart to tell Joe the bed's a goner.
I'll wait for a good time.
Like when he's back on his recliner.
With a beer.
"Nothing, Dad." And he believed them. *snort*
ReplyDeleteHow 'bout it? What is he, new??
DeleteThank goodness this story ended with the use of one of those pint glasses.
ReplyDelete-andi
No story is complete without pint glasses. ;)
DeleteOh my gosh! I jumped on my bed as a kid and bent the metal frame, but the broken wood? Yikes!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJack has mad skills!
DeleteMaybe that duct tape is holding the bed together and it has wood glue which will dry. Just wondering.
ReplyDeleteOh, Carol. If only....
DeleteAs I always remind you, "WAIT TIL THEY START DRIVING"

Thanks for the happy thought, Officer CL.
DeleteGreat. Just in time for a sleepover. I think I will sleep on the couch.
ReplyDeleteStill plenty of beds to go around!
DeleteDuct tape seems to sometimes be the answer for everything; I guess not in this case though. Am glad that no one got hurt, right?
ReplyDeletebetty
Oh yes. Very glad nobody got hurt, because I'm not sure if duct tape would've worked. ;)
DeleteAn hour later? The little one didn't rat?
ReplyDeleteI think they were using Joey as the ball.
DeleteOh my gosh! Boys are so destructive! I totally remember that feeling though, of breaking something and not wanting mom or dad to find out. It was the only time my brother and I go along...when we were trying to cover something up!
ReplyDeleteNice duct tape job :)
United in guilt! Love it! And Joe is pretty handy with that roll.
DeleteI love Duct tape! You can fix the world with that and a screwdriver. I learned that from MacGyver.
ReplyDeleteIt IS magic, isn't it? :)
