Sad Day, Jack the Dog Dies

Our family is greatly sadden by the sudden death of 6 year old lab Jack the family hunting dog. He was a gently dog that would sit during show and tell in school while kids would pat him on the back saying, "Good boy Jack." When the Vet said his body was shutting down from the cancer we knew it was time. The family was at his side comforting him as he was put to sleep. The 5 year old asked mom where was jack going? Mom told him he was going to the big pond up in heaven where he could swim all he wanted. He will be greatly missed by the family.

Wife and Details Don't Mix

So when I get home and getting out of my car I hear a rushing roaring sound. Sort of like a waterfall sound. As I get closer to my house I know I am hearing water. I look over to my faucet and see the hose has blown off leaving a flow rate of 6gal/min. The water around my foundation wall was about 5" deep. Figured at about 400 gal/hr times 6 hours that was a lot of water. Fortunately basement didn't leak. Asked wife didn't you hear the roaring water as you were coming and going? Her response, "Not really, what was that noise?"
Sigh

The Popular Daughter

Apparently my 17yr old daughter did something to make herself popular yesterday. I come out from my house this morning to see the front yard teepeed and my car smeared with trash and food. Hopefully she will explain to them in the future which car is hers and which is mine as they only seemed to target my car and not hers.
Sigh

The Added Touch

Wife had a hard shift at the hospital and I wanted to do something special for her. I decided to make her dinner with all the fixings, just the 2 of us as the kids were out of town for a while. When my wife came home I had the table set with the slow cooked rump roast, squash, salad, red wine gravy and drinks. The aroma was filled with cooked food. She was so excited in anticipation and raced into the bathroom to washup. I left to kennel up the dogs so it would be nice and quite. When I got back to my horror was my 5yr old emptying out a can of Oust air freshener all over the dining room and table saying, "Dad I get rid of the bad smell." My wife and I sat down to an Oust smelling meal.
Sigh.

Don't Bet With A 5yr Old

My 5yr old says, "Dad I bet I can push your car." I mumble something and proceeded into the house. Next thing I knew my wife is screaming hysterically about the car. I turn to see that I must have left it out of gear as he is pushing the car with gaining speed down the driveway gleeful exclaiming, "see dad." Even though the car was only going 3 mph I realized as I was trying to stop it that it had too much momentum. Fortunately for me the street had a up hill and the car eventually roll back down to the drive way.
Sigh.
