January 2009:
Spencer was playing with a Super Bouncy Ball. He called out, "Mom! My ball just went in a cup." What? Oh! By "cup" you mean "crystal glass". I see.
Yep. Those are two glass shelves of crystal. And a Super Bouncy Ball.
(This incident is also known as "The day a miracle
super-ball-bounce saved Spencer Johnson's life.")
July 2010:
Shawn and I were finally putting the house back together from a couples baby shower we threw this weekend. (Don't judge - it had only been four days.) As I was walking toward our bedroom (past the same bar where the "miracle bounce" occurred), Shawn said, "Hey babe? Can you please put these Tums* away when you walk by the bathroom?" Sure. I turned so he could throw them to me and...
Truly, we have a logic defying sunroom.
*That's what a rockin' good party the Johnsons throw - so good that people get indigestion! And, yes, yes. Technically, they are not "Tums". They are Equate brand Antacid Tablets. See also: Ali is cheap.

Love it.
You gotta be kidding me. Kid. ding. me! Thanks for the laugh. Total genius.
amazing, right? i think i should take my sunroom on the road!
Your sun room is a rock star! Not only do I love miracles, I love it when people take pictures of them and put them on their blog.
(Kathy Junk Drawer sent me here today)
I think your sun room may actually be the Bermuda Triangle. Or one of those portals to the world of the undead, like in Poltergeist. Either way, can I come over and play with your crystal glasses?
Nanny Goats in Panties - I think the most common phrase said at my house is, "Oh my gosh. I have to take a picture of THAT."
JD - I feel so much better to have an explanation. But, I probably shouldn't have shared the "portal to the other side" with my husband - now he won't even walk through there... wuss.
I absolutely loved "The day a miracle
super-ball-bounce saved Spencer Johnson's life." That would be an awesome name for a book.
thanks, cardiogirl! unfortunately, i don't think a lot of publishers are interested in a book with a great title yet one page of content. well, maybe i could get someone to do an awesome intro and up the page count to 5 or so. then, there could be acknowledgements at the end. still... i think it would be a hard sell. ;)
