I had completely forgotten about this until both my shave gel and a bath wash tried to kill me by taking dives off their shelves and landing on my toes in the shower this morning. It must be in retaliation for what I did to Steve the other night.
I think it was Saturday night, we were cleaning out that room, organizing stuff, you know. Since Steve had his choice on the tv, it was a bit hard at times to keep him focused on the task at hand. He’d stop and watch tv — when he’s watching tv, he’s like Sarah, completely focuses on it, I’ve been known to tell him something six times in the same minute because he keeps saying, “what?” “No, what? I’m really listening this time.” No, you’re not. So, anyway I kept asking him if he wanted to keep something or throw it away and kept getting ignored.
Then I found the slingshots my grandpa gave us a couple of years ago.
I found a little almost completely burned tealight candle. Yeah, one of the ones in the metal cups. It was the only thing I could find small and (surprisingly) “soft” enough to shoot.
I aimed.
I pulled only slightly, afterall, it is in the house and I didn’t really want to hit him.
That thing went flying across the room (aka across 3/4 of the front of the house), right past his face, and slammed into the wall with a bang!
I got his attention. Oh, boy did I get his attention.
His face snapped towards me with this look like he was near death and I just started laughing, because, you know, I’m guilty, standing there with the slingshot. And I’m really laughing because, normally, I am a stinking horrible shot, but that was a dang good one!
He started to get mad but I just kept laughing and saying I’m sorry that I didn’t think it was going to go that strong, that I hardly held it back at all, or that it would have been so close to him that he could have felt the air move. He went and found the tealight and was all mad, “is this it? You trying to kill me!?!?!?!” Yes. Hahaha.
LOL! Good one Val! haha.. i guess it comes to show that if you ignore Val lol… “these things will happen 8 )” well hehee.. congrats on an aim that you won’t forget! hehee :P, i hope he learned his lessssson .. who would want to repeat theirselves 1000x in a minute? grr.. i hate that! :P
omfg that is hilarious. YOu probably could have killed him :D
lol you sure got his attention ;) and scared him a little too… I guess he would have had a big ugly mark if you acctually had hit him though, so good you didn’t :P.
LOL..DAvid would have freaked out..imagine what would have happened if it had actually hit him!
Ouch man. I hate when various bath products fall on my feet. I think I’m becoming immune to it though. :D Oh my goodness! That is just like my dad, that’s like a lot of people in my family come to think of it. It’s really funny because you think he’s listening but in reality he didn’t hear a word, a lot of times he doesn’t even know you’re talking to him. That is funny, but it can be frustrating. I’m just amazed how people can focus so much at the television and not be aware of what‘s going on around them. :o Slingshots are fun, my parents would never let me actually really use it though. Hah hah, it’s good you didn’t hit him, but he may now know that you’re the boss! :) It’s funny how you shocked yourself as well as him. ;) No more playing with slingshots! :P
