One day Marie came home from work. It was a hot day and she was very tired. She told the kids that she was was tired and hot and was going to the yard and sit for awhile under the big shade tree. She told us that she said, "Do you think you kids can stay out of trouble for just a little while, while I rest?" They assured her that they could.
Marie said she had just got settled and crash! The not so subtle reminder that little boys cannot stay out of trouble when mama was tired and needed to rest. She ran towards the crash and the small one (Roger was the youngest son) was innocently playing basketball. He reached up to catch it and his arm went through the window. Well, of course, blood was every where. Off they went to the hospital where everything ended up well. I know this story is true because he was just here visiting this summer with his son and his grandchildren.
