Never a dull moment…
I’m sure our neighbors think we are in the running for the worst parents…
May 6, 2007
I was in the basement and I heard my doorbell ring frantically. I ran upstairs and opened the door. 2 kids were standing there all wide eyed, scared and breathless.
“There’s a little boy on your roof!” they blurt out.
“Thanks!” I yelped over my shoulder as I bolted upstairs.
Sure enough as I got to the top of the stairs I could see into my bedroom and I saw Brandon and Mya on the roof.
“BRANDON!” I yelled. He jumped, turned and started to come in through the window. I grabbed his arm and began to pull him in. Mya turned and went to come in too, but she slipped and fell backward. She fell on her back and began to slide down the roof.
Still holding on to Brandon I reached through the window and grabbed Mya by her ankle with my other hand.
I pulled Brandon in and then pulled a crying, scared Mya through the window.
“What were you thinking?!? Why would you go out on the roof!?! If you fall off the roof you could die!” I yelled at them. They just stared at me and blinked. ARG!
I sent them both to their rooms. I was so scared and furious.
*sigh* we need to get a screen on our bedroom window. I had opened the window to air out the house since it was so nice not thinking the kids would hop out onto the roof.
Where did they get the idea? Unfortunately from me… I went out on the roof to put up the Christmas lights and they watched me do it.
Why is there no screen on the window? They had cut it with an exacto knife, then dug their fingers in the screen until it was really wide. I had taken it down so I could take it to Gienow and have a new screen put in…. I just haven’t had the time to go down there. I keep forgetting about it until something like this happens or until mosquitoes start flying through the window.
