While Jason was home during our Christmas/New Year vacation, he tried to get some things done around the house when we weren’t playing games.
A piece of the floor had come off months before and he had thought he’d get a new one since the existing one was very scratched up, but with all the bills from trips and car repairs coming in he decided that the one we have would last a while longer and went ahead and glued it down. After he glued it, he carried in several of his weights to secure it.
“I’m going to leave these here until tomorrow afternoon to make sure it’s dry,” he said.
I looked at it and said, “I’m just worried I’ll kill myself on it if I go to the kitchen in the middle of the night.”
“Have you paid your life insurance?” he laughed at me and told me he thought it’d be fine.
We then turned off the lights and went upstairs to watch a movie. About a half an hour into the movie Jason paused it to go downstairs to get a drink. I heard clang, clang, clang…crash. He had tripped over the weights in the dark!
“Oh no, I still need to pay your life insurance!” I roared.
He didn’t say anything, but he did cover the weights with chairs so no one else would trip over them! 🙂

Looks & sounds like what happens in my house LOL!
Oh men are so funny! This cracked me up!
Hehe! My gramps did something very similar to this once, he ended up with a huge gash in his head. Oops!
That sounds like something that would happen in our house. Del and I definitely have plenty of laughs together. It helps so much! It helps keep us bonded as well. Since it was his brilliant idea to use the weights, it’s a good thing he was the one who tripped over them. Glad he didn’t get hurt though. 🙂
:-}
Yep! Laughter … it sure is one of the glues that holds a marriage together, my friend!
I laughed out loud!!! Glad he wasn’t hurt too bad. I have a Jason too- Same humor. Hahaha. Great post. Thanks for sharing.
Giggling with you! Sounds like something that would happen at our house. But I’d probably be the one to trip in the dark! So glad to find you through Beth’s link up tonight.
This is exactly how my life plays out, Esther! I am certain to “eat my words” on a daily basis and come clanging into the very thing others were warning me might be my (or their) downfall. I love how you give these little tidbits of laughter and wisdom in this place. Always a joy to visit! Thanks so much for linking up at Wedded Wed too, my friend!
