So last night after the kids were in bed and my husband was sleeping peacefully after a VERY long day for himself, I left with 3 of my sisters to go visit my other sister who is in the hospital for a few days right now. We stopped at Jamba Juice to get her a smoothie and my phone rings. It's a sleepy Jake asking if I had gotten his text. I hadn't, so he told me to look at it and call him back...Ummm, okay. This is what his text consisted of:
Call me!
Are you serious?
In the seconds that it took me to dial him right back, my mind was reeling over
the possibilities of what could have happened.
An intruder?
A fight?
Someone stealing our property?
The light fixture falling out of the ceiling and hitting him in the face?
My brother in law even suggested a popped zit gone horribly wrong...
When I got a hold of him the truth was revealed.
Jake was sleeping when suddenly he heard a loud BANG!
He woke up with an unusually forceful jolt which stood him up to his feet, in bed,
and before he could even comprehend what was happening, the ceiling fan had already unleashed two blows and he was down for the count!
Sounds a little too much like Don Quixote, if you ask me.
I tried to sound extremely sympathetic, but really?
A ceiling fan?
Really, babe? Who stands up in bed?
Maybe I should be the go-to girl when we're planning our self-defense against an intruder.
I can see it now:
The masked man enters the bedroom,
ready for a fight, and is up for the challenge, when suddenly he realizes
no fight will be necessary.
Somebody, or something, has been here before and done the dirty work.
The man lay helplessly in bed with blood dripping from his face...

Whoops....missed part of my post...
I was sleeping soundly in my bed and went into a defensive posture...on top of the bed... if you think about it....going from lying down to standing up in one motion....that's kinda impressive... should be an Olympic event...and I totally would win the gold!!!!
Regardless.....you are still BUSTED...
but if you're unconcious, you can't be there for the awards ceremony
That is really funny. I am glad it was just the fan and not an intruder :) Tell Jake HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Sorry, HAPPY BIRTHDAY in 3 days :)
Oh sad!
wait.. I want to know what the loud bang was in the first place
Poor guy. But may it be a lesson to us all... DON'T stand up in bed! Heehee! And yes Jake, that should be an olympic event, and you would win the gold!
