Saturday was a busy day for my family.\u00a0 The wife had to work and she left me a few erands to run.\u00a0 I needed to take out the trash, run to Safeway for some Italian Soda, and then wash the boys & myself; and then get to the wedding on time.\u00a0 This didn’t sound to bad, I had about 4 hours.<\/p>\n
Everything went smoothly until it was time to get everyone cleaned up.\u00a0 Now, like many parent with kids under 3 it is very likely to shower & bath them at the same time.\u00a0 Today, I put both boys in the shower with me.\u00a0 I was making great progress too!\u00a0 I was clean and then washed the youngest & had all but the oldest hair washed & teeth brushed.\u00a0 He didn’t want to have his hair washed – most kids don’t.\u00a0 So, while holding the younger kid in my left arm, I bent down [in a squat] and procedded to wash the older son’s hair.\u00a0 That is when I lost my balance.\u00a0 I slipped and fell landing on my crack and a bulldozer.\u00a0 Needless to say – I am fine & so are the boys; however, the bulldozer didn’t make it.<\/p>\n
When I fell, my right foot glanced off my son’s side, no harm or direct hit . . . he looked up all upset and then said, “Daddy are you getting a bath with us?”.\u00a0 I laughed and said no.\u00a0 Soon, I was back on my feet and we were headed out the door for the wedding.<\/p>\n
The funniest part was my SILs reaction to the story.<\/p>\n
