OK...2 short funny stories...
Sunday, we're at the Colts game...Rob is warding his Lance Briggs jersey, and we are standing outside the pro shop...this guy walks up to Rob, and asks him for his autograph...we were like "????" and the guy says something about Rob looking like Troy Aikman...and then he walks away...funny thing is that this is not the first time he's been called Aikman...we were at Bears camp last year, and Chris Harris was signing autographs for the kids after practice and Rob was talking to him...Chris looked up, and goes "oh man, i thought you were Troy Aikman up there..." Rob is not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing...because some like Aikman, and he's heard some folks say that Aikman looks like a frog...i just think it's funny! hehe!
other funny story...
we are at Wally world today, grocery shopping, and here them page "Robert or Crystal..." and think that's weird...Robert and Crystal...and then the page continues......Clayton, please report to your vehicle"...then they repeated it...I drove to the store today...Usually he drives...So, I'm thinking "Shit...someone hit my car..." "nooooo....don't let it be that..." so Rob goes out, and i tell him to tell me if it's ok to come out...cuz i was really scared someone had hit my car...i kept thinking, maybe it's someone we know, saw the car and wanted to trick us, or someone vandalized it--because of how it looks, or maybe it was on fire...yes, i did wonder...Rob went out....i peeked out the window--didn't see smoke, so crossed the fire off the list...then i couldn't see what was going on...(anyone who knows me knows that i do not like to not know what is going on...sirens nearby, i have to go check it out...thanks papa!
) well, it has only been a couple minutes, but i can't take it, so i told the kids to stay there with the card in the produce section near the door...i had to go check really quick...so i start walking out and see two cars stopped right by my car (mind you--i am and antisocial parker, so i am parked in BFE--there usually isn't anyone parked that close by...) and one is parked behind me, so that i am boxed in..."SHIT" i think...and start walking out there...not in a good mood...ready to yell at someone...i get closer to the car, and see that it is a police car parked behind me..."this CANNOT be good" i think...i keep walking and get to the car...and don't say anything to anybody, but start looking the car over...nothing looks wrong/hurt/etc...Rob is saying there's nothing wrong...and then the cop says "the driver side door was wide open--looks like everything is ok", so i open the car, and nothing looks amis...i check the trunk, everything is there...all looks well...i can breathe now...i go to the other vehicle parked by me and ask if they were the ones who called the police, and they were, and i thanked them...thank God there are still honest folks around! Apparently, when Tommy got out of the car, he did not shut the door (usually, since the kids move so slow, Rob and i get out, put the seats forward and start walking, and the kids shut the doors, and i lock them once the kids catch up...i should have known when the car did not "chirp" when i pushed the lock button...oh well...tommy forgets to shut the door sometimes in the driveway, but he never has in a parking lot...until today. well, after talking to the cop about the car and subsequently the colts game (his son was there too, but he's a falcons fan ???), rob and i go back to the store to get the kids and finish our shopping...i told rob we had to act like something happened just to be mean...so Tommy would see why he needs to remember to shut the door (yeah, and i guess i need to double check too...). we get back into the store, and i went up to tommy and asked him if he shut the car door. he said he thought he did, so i said, well, you didn't, and now my car radio is gone...amber was like "what?? they took your radio??" i said yep, and then asked tommy if he was going to replace it...he says yes...i asked him how...you don't have a job, and now i don't have a radio...he started to look upset...i told him that there was a cop outside and that he said someone left the car door open and they took the radio out of the dash...amber looked like she was nervous too...i decided tommy looked like he was going to cry, so i decided to let him off the hook...he was sweating it...i know--i'm a mean mom--but it's fun sometimes! so i told him what really happened, and told him that he needs to remember to shut the door, because what i said had happened really could happen...that is why we have to shut doors. i asked him if he was going to remember to shut the door now, and he said yes. well, it gets better...we get home, and are getting the groceries out of the car...Rob and i are behind the car, and the kids are just getting out...like normal. and what does my son do? HE LEAVES THE FRIGGIN CAR DOOR OPEN AGAIN, IN THE DRIVEWAY!!! i just shook my head and looked at Rob. He didn't notice right away, but when he did, he shook hid head too...what a goober...Tommy realized what he did, and shut the door, but it did take a minute...
how crazy! LOL!!!
that's all for now!
