Ok, so, what was REALLY going on...
Dearest dramatic daughter of mine yelled from Engine 77, "MMMOOOOOMMMMMYYYYYYYYY! I DON'T HAVE MY FLIP PHHHOOOOOOOOOOONNNE!" I rolled my eyes at her. Mind you, I was ten feet away from her and most of the action was dying down, but still...
Our oh-so-observant chief saw the little exchange and heard yelling, but was clearly unable to understand WHAT daughter dearest said because he - with concern I might add - asked what she needed. I turned to him and prepared to raise my voice above the din of 100 firefighters doing their jobs, hoses still spraying full force, and flames putting out that "roaring" sound.
Putting my thumb and finger out and raising my hand to my face to help him understand (in case he couldn't hear) I told him that she just wanted her cell phone and I was NOT about to walk all the way back to our truck to retrieve said phone for her. Her big brother thought this would be a great photo opportunity. *Note to self: thank the boy later.*"She has a cell phone?!?!" I know that they think we are very odd for playing "double jeopardy" and homeschooling our kids (they consider it that because we pay the taxes AND do the work) and other such mildly crunchy things, but a giving our child a cell phone would put it over the edge. Reassuring him that I would not give a six year old girl a cell phone, I let him in on the fact that it was a broken phone and she just PLAYS with it. Somehow, though, I think he may still be under the impression that I am odder than originaly thought....

*lol* Gee, I can't imagine.......
nope, not a clue....stumped here...lol
and btw....you look pretty hot in your uni!! :-D
"flair for the dramatic" snort.
now you know the person you stole this idea from gives away WAY cool prizes, so that hug better be big enough to make me forget $$$ coffee makers and amazon gift cards. for the record.
also for the record: 15 days. yippee!
make sure you call me when you get into town!! we'll make sure we can take a trip out that way
Yes, I know the person I stole this idea from gives VERY cool prizes... I would have loved $$$ coffee machine. Or even Amazon card - school books, here I come!! *sigh* But you KNOW that hug will be worth WAY more.... DUH, it's from ME and we haven't seen eachother in.... what, eight, nine months?
hey, do I get a hug too?
I mean, of course it can't be as big since I didn't win and all...but ya know, it's been a while since I got hugs from y'all......
oh yeah, and how long will you be around for? We have to go to a wedding in Angelica on 5/26...so if you happen to still be around.......
Yes, you can have a hug. You should call sometime when you are 20 minutes away. Even if you can't get the rest of the way over, it is possible that I might be able to get the 20 minutes that way....
my bro is getting married the same day on my dad's land, so no go there. We're coming in around the 16th and d's leaving the 27th; i'm staying a coupla extra weeks.
hugs are definitely deserved, simply for existing =)
um...maybe we can all get together on the 27th for a bite to eat or something?
or at least the hugs :-D
p.s. we'll be in Cuba starting Friday evening around 7ish (the 25th) and then provided the Bug doesn't have to work at Marshalls on Monday, we'll stick around until then....
