Keeping the hospital on stand by

Jake is our little daredevil. Three years ago he jumped down six stairs, fell back and split his open, and required 2 staples in the back of his head. While we were in the emergency room he was negotiating with us to go home and try it again from one less step. Oh boy.

This morning it was raining and Jake had his umbrella out. We were walking down our long driveway because our cars have been parked at the bottom to accommodate the contractors and Jake was playing with his umbrella and jumping up into the air.

Jake: This umbrella is a lousy parachute.

Me: Umm, yes. That's why you should never get it in your head to try and jump off the roof using an umbrella as a parachute.

Jake: Right, I'll need a real parachute for that.

Oh God help us.........
