A Cool Shirtless Evening Gone Bad

Aren't they so cute? Almost angelic in their Easter outfits, huh? I started looking at this closely and the way they are dressed really does define their personalities. Spencer is very conscience of how he looks, his clothes, his hair, etc. Jack is ALL about comfort. As long as his hair is brushed FORWARD, not sideways, and he can wear his shirt OUT preferably with flip flops, he is happy. But that wasn't my point ... I have another story.
Last night, Scott, Erica and I were hanging out on our bed right before she was heading off to sleep and the boys were already in bed BUT not asleep yet. Spencer had gotten up for the third time because he thought of something else he wanted to tell us. So we are talking with Erica and suddenly, we hear this boom/crash in the boy's room. Scott proceeded to get up and go check it out. Well, he turned the light on and it didn't come on. He turned the hall light on and in the middle of the room is the ceiling fan with broken bulbs and globes all over the floor! He looked at them - Spencer was hanging on the one step of his ladder and Jack had this OH MY GOSH look on his face. And the story is like this: "Dad, we wanted to take our pajama shirts off and sleep without them. I threw mine over and the shirt landed on the blade but then it fell off the blade and as soon as it hit the floor, the ceiling fan fell out of the ceiling." Scott turns to Jack to ask what happened and Spencer cuts Jack off before he gets a word out, REPEATS the whole story again but adds "that's what happened Dad, isn't that right, Jack?" And Jack responds with, "Yep." So we stand there trying really hard not to laugh - clean up the glass, vacuum the floor and off to sleep they go. And we wonder what really happened .... but even today, they are sticking to the story -- the same story -- and Jack even repeated it the same way when I pulled him aside thinking it would be a "little" different. I will say I was really proud of Scott's response .. he laughed. And I think it was a great lesson for the boys -- that ceiling fans DO FALL OUT OF THE CEILINGS and may even fall for no reason at all!!!! I don't think they'll be hanging on any of them any time soon! Can you say "New Light Kit Only" please???
