My Side of the Story

Before I get into this story, you have to go over and read Army Wife's adventure from yesterday. Seriously - funny stuff.

Ok - now that you're back - let me tell you what I HEARD over the phone during this "event".

First my cell phone rings. It's AW. I thought she was crying. Nope. Laughing. Laughing harder than I've heard her laugh in months.

She explains about the electric and tryin' to get into the house. I know about the grocerys, since I talked to her as she was goin' in the store. There's a lot at stake here. For cryin' out loud! The ice cream could melt!!!!

She's talking Dash through the process of moving the chair up to the door. Then:

AW: Pink Ninja! Pink Ninja! Get out of that high chair. Dash needs to stand in there to let Mommy in!!! ** mutter mutter** for cryin' out loud.

In the back ground I could just barely make out the sound of the childrens voices.

AW: Dash? That's perfect. Go ahead. You can reach it. I know you can do it.

Can I just say here how much I love hearing her interaction with her children! She is sooooo good with them.

Now, also please realize she is trying to hard to control her laughter. Also - during the entire call she keeps sayin' "Damn, I gotta pee".

I'm not sure when it happened but at some point I started laughing too. I sooo knew where she was at. I can't tell you how many times I had to do that with my boys. Anyway - I'm sitting here at work, tears running down my face and everyone walking past my office wondering what the HELL is going on.

Finally I hear those three beautiful words.

"He did it!"

Yeah Dash. What a hero!!!

I sent him a talking ecard letting him know I knew he saved the day!! I think it's wonderful that they made such an event of what he accomplished. He faced his fear and, in order to help his Mommy he conqured it. Hero in Training.

But damn - that was the funniest phone call I've ever gotten.
