Saturday was a busy day for my family. The wife had to work and she left me a few erands to run. 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. This didn’t sound to bad, I had about 4 hours.
Everything went smoothly until it was time to get everyone cleaned up. Now, like many parent with kids under 3 it is very likely to shower & bath them at the same time. Today, I put both boys in the shower with me. I was making great progress too! I was clean and then washed the youngest & had all but the oldest hair washed & teeth brushed. He didn’t want to have his hair washed – most kids don’t. 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. That is when I lost my balance. I slipped and fell landing on my crack and a bulldozer. Needless to say – I am fine & so are the boys; however, the bulldozer didn’t make it.
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?”. I laughed and said no. Soon, I was back on my feet and we were headed out the door for the wedding.
The funniest part was my SILs reaction to the story.
