After a fun morning at the park, they returned back home and the kids were outside playing in the backyard. They needed a drink so he went into the kitchen for 2 minutes (he stressed the TWO minutes part). He immediately heard life threatening screams from Taylee. He dashed outside and found her...PINNED under the tires of the Gator while Anden was contently sitting at the wheel with his foot firmly STILL on the gas pedal spinning his tires. In complete shock, Jer quickly realized Anden was somehow HIGH CENTERED on his sister!!! He rushed over and ripped Anden out of the driver seat and threw the Gator off Taylee. She was absolutely distraught, covered in dirt, scratched up, sobbing hysterically....all while her unfazed older brother watched emotionless nearby. While Jer tried to comfort his baby girl, the steam was beginning to explode out of his ears as to WHY his little boy would do such a thing! He firmly grabbed Anden and exclaimed, "WHAT HAPPENED?!! WHY DID YOU DO THAT??!" Anden calmly and sincerely replied, "I told her that's why you not get in front of my Gator!"
Well at that point in the story, I bit my lip. I tried so hard not to laugh. You see, I knew Taylee was ok if he was now calling me back....and I wasn't scarred from witnessing the melee first hand like he was. So my untimely sick sense of humor kicked in. Jer scolded me, "This is not funny!! Our son just ran over our daughter!!"
Have you ever had to teach your kids it's not appropriate to use each other as speed bumps??
Daddy Day Care, Day #2: Near Fatal Gator Accident
Jeremy's suddenly extra motivated to find a job
Oh my gosh, poor Taylee! But I had to laugh because this is exactly what I go through every single day with Gage and Brigg. I don't understand what makes these tough little 3 year olds think it's their job to "teach" their younger siblings through the school of hard knocks. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought about this "Daddy Day Care" that's going on in Anthem. Maybe Eddie Murphy could make a third attempt:

Mrs. Gwyneth Harridan: "Rock for Daddy Day Care... Do you know what this means?
Jenny: A... chance to prove ourselves in a little healthy competition?
Mrs. Gwyneth Harridan: No, you bubble-headed idiot. It's a deathwish!!"

Charlie Hinton: "Today we need some organization and planned activities.
Phil: No. We need Ritalin and leashes, that's what we need."

Good luck to everyone....especially the petite, sweet, innocent...Speed Bump!
Papa Nolie is coming to the rescue!!
p.s. Hey Jer, I thought you had a new ATV shop air lift jack? Use it next time!!
I am pretty sure I haven't laughed that hard for at least an hour. Since I too stay at home all day! I love it when "daddy" gets a taste of being a mom all day long. Good luck Jeremy!
