It Was Really Scary
Posted By AmyD. on December 10, 2007
Sunday afternoon Mike and I were curled up in bed watching something on the Discovery channel. I made a comment to the effect of, “well, that’s kind of scary.” To which Mike replied:
“Actually, I know something that is more scary than that. Last night this crazy woman woke me up swearing that someone was in her house. I stepped out into the hall to check things out and she stuck a hammer in my hand and pushed me down the stairs!”
“I did NOT push you down the stairs. And, the hammer was the first thing I saw lying around.”
“And you woke your son up?”
“He’s old enough to watch his old man’s back.”
“Sure, it just takes him half and hour to show up.”
“Well, he had to get dressed.”
“I was in my UNDERWEAR!”
“Well… he’s more modest than you are.”

Oh, and since tomorrow is Ethan’s 16th birthday… I’d like to wish you all a very Happy Ethan Eve!
I’ve always done my best to make sure that Ethan’s birthday was set apart from Christmas. When he was 5 he adopted December 10th as “Ethan Eve.” And, up until just a couple of years ago he would actually call a list of people to wish them a very “Happy Ethan Eve.”
Happy Ethan Eve!!

I always make sure Jared shuts the door before he heads off to “investigate”. No sense in us ALLLL getting murdered!
HAPPY ETHAN EVE!! :martini: :martini:
Oh no, shit, wait. Sorry.
Uhh… :coffee: :heartbeat: :coffee:
Happy Ethan Ave!
Happy Ether Eve!
Happy Esther Ewe!
Shit. I give up. Happy early birthday.
And you guys really hear things and make him go investigate? I thought that was just a movie cliche!
Happy Ethan Eve!!! And 16??? WTF? How do you prepare for your baby being old enough to drive?
Heh. I do the same thing to my husband, but we have a gun by the bed, so I shove that in his hands and send the dogs out with him.
Happy Ethan Eve!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
Trying to relate.
A couple years ago I woke up to the sound of whirring, turned on the lights and discovered a bat whirring around my head in circles.
Quickly turned off the lights (not sure why), woke up youngest son, who was the only person I lived with, who promptly ran downstairs and locked himself into the bathroom.
I then called my son-in-law, who was hosting a bachelor party at his house. It was like 2 am. He said, “So you want me to come over there?” My reply, “Yes, unless you want me to come to your house.”
Ha. He came, he conquered, and Creed came out of the bathroom.
I don’t know why they always act so surprised that we expect them to protect us!
A toast to you, Ethan. Of course you’ll have to wait a few more years to toast with the good stuff, so…. we’ll use an energy drink or something of the sort.
“You have a cool, Mom, buddy. Appreciate her and adopt her way of thinking. It will make life much easier in the long run. Happy (early) Birthday, Ethan!”
*clink* Cheers
LOL yeah thanks… that was hot coffee I just snort thru my nostrils… again…
Miss B – Close the door… HA! Yeah, I couldn’t do that, I would have to sit there and listen to make sure that he wasn’t in real trouble.
Avi – Yes, we do. But, that’s probably because we aren’t sleeping next to big, hairy, gorillas. Our loss… I’m sure. :whistle:
ADW – There is no preparation. Nothing can prepare you for that. Honest. I’ve managed to put off his getting a permit for 6 months now.
Angel – Yeah, we have a gun in the closet… and Mike did say, “we have GUN, why did you put the HAMMER in my hands?” And, that would be because I wanted to keep the gun for my own protection in case they made it past my hubs.
B’s Mom – ROTFLMAO – man, you should use that as a post. That is HYSTERICAL. Poor Creed… was he panicking about rabies shots?
Diva – I am SO going to make sure he reads your comment.
DB – My bad. My apologies to your nostrils!
:cheesy:
Happy Birthday, or um, Ethan Eve!
Happy b’day! Better hide the playboys…
I absolutely do not understand what Mike was so upset about. Aren’t men supposed to want to protect us, regardless of the time and their attire? What the hell?! :unsure:
Crazy Lady – Thank you!!!! :cheesy:
Geek – Hmmmm… or maybe I shouldn’t have bought him the calender with the 40′s Pin up girls last Christmas. :twitchy:
Tense – EXACTLY!!!!
You are a cool mom! :rock:
I try… but it isn’t hard, he has excellent taste! :thumbsup:
Isn’t that why we have men? To take care of things like scary sounds and heavy boxes and crap. Otherwise, we’d be MUCH better on our own.
And happy birthday to Ethan! :dance:
The last Time I got to go out and investigate a sound with my 19 year old son, (I’m 6’3″ and he is about an inch taller already) He was walking in front of me holding a 1 1/2 inch long blade on his knife. I asked what he was going to do with that (I’m carrying a wicked piece of steel Rebar). He looked at it half asleep (2 am) and said I don’t know. I said get behind me and don’t cut me with that thing. Luckily no one was found, but right after that the Sheriff’s helicopter started circling right over head, so we weren’t the only one hearing sounds that night.
My wife stayed inside and looked through the blinds.
And luckily I had thrown on my pants.
