Random Stories from the Last 2 Days

By Chris

Easter Bunny duty is almost over. Teresa's been at it night-and-day. We were able to leave the boys in the bunny factory helping the production line while we slipped out for a dinner date at The Purple Cow. Cool restaurant name, huh?

Last night was a flying adventure. Halfway home, the pilot comes on to tell us we're turning around and heading back to Atlanta. He explained the hissing sound reported by passengers in the exit row was an exit door that lost its seal. Yikes! Glad I was upgraded to row 2 and nowwhere near that. Hissing doors at 35,000 feet are no good. He assured us that our pressure was fine, but they just wanted to return to be safe. We changed planes pretty quickly, all things considered. My phone died, and I had no way to call home. Four hours late, with no notice, I was sure I was in trouble. But, I still beat Teresa home. Big sister was in-charge of the sleeping boys. Apparently it was a particularly fun late-night egg crew and staying late was a blast.

Mother-in-law's dog has been a trip since the falling of the fence between the yards. Today, she was scratching at the door, like she had something important to tell me. Finally, I answer. There she stands with a proud happy face and a dead squirrel in her mouth. Fresh dead. Somehow, she caught it. I shewed her away. Ben was very happy about this news, and more happy to report: "she ate one of the eyes!!"

Go KiKi! Remember when you were a kid and Chillie brought frogs home? Live ones ... in her mouth ... in the house. You would go to see what she had in her mouth and a frog would jump out. Too funny. I'm sure Kiki's the hero with Ben for eating an eyeball. Gross!

Did you read the bottom of the receipt from the Purple Cow? If not, check it out.

What does the bottom of the receipt say? I have eaten there before but never looked at it. The shakes are the best.
