Fun with Melody Joy
Oct 10, 2005
Children have an amazing capacity to create their own fun. Melody Joy in particular is well blessed with this talent. A couple weeks ago, she passed ten minutes playing with a door stop. You know, the kind with the spring attached to the baseboard. Yeah, that one. Sproing! For ten minutes!
Anyway, this weekend, while at my sister's house. Melody decided that she and I would play a little game. I fastened the velcro on her shoes. She unfastened the velcro. Back and forth, on and on. Anway, after about five minutes, I thought switching the straps would be funny. I attached the left strap to the right shoe and the right strap to the left shoe, fully expecting our little game to continue.
Apparently she had other plans. She turned to walk away. I CANNOT believe this. She fell on her face. My poor, sweet, darling little niece bit the dust. AND IT WAS MY FAULT!
And I laughed! (See, this is the kind of person you read. Aren't you proud?) I laughed so hard that I couldn't breathe - I couldn't stop. And Melody Joy thought it must have been funny, because she laughed too.
One day, I will pay for laughing like this.
