Simon Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 So I was sitting here after a long weekend at camp and now trying to see what happened at the draft, who the Bills picked when, what happened in the NHL, etc. My youngest and a couple of his buddies are outside in the driveway experimenting with vinegar, baking soda, plastic bottles and Airsoft ammo. Yeah, you guessed it. A few minutes ago a water bottle trailing a stream of vinegar and baking soda just crashed through this upstairs double-pane Andersen window about 8 feet from my head. Mum's going to beat our asses.....
Simon Posted April 28, 2008 Author Posted April 28, 2008 Oh boy. Is an Andersen window expensive? I'm guessing yeah. Although since I already have ladders and glazing and a materials store up the road, I have absolutely no intention of finding out. Maybe tomorrow would be a good day for a lesson on how much more fun it can be to stay home and replace windows rather than go play ball with your buddies.
BillnutinHouston Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Why is Mum going to beat OUR asses? Did Simon have a hand in this?
drnykterstein Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Why is Mum going to beat OUR asses? Did Simon have a hand in this? Yeah you didnt do anything wrong Simon, just letting your kids learn about chemistry.
DrDawkinstein Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 could be worse. could have a girl and all those stupid boys would be trying to "experiment" with her...
Simon Posted April 29, 2008 Author Posted April 29, 2008 Why is Mum going to beat OUR asses? Did Simon have a hand in this? No sir. I have absolutely no idea where the idea came from. Not a one. Why, I've never even heard of such a thing.
CosmicBills Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 No sir.I have absolutely no idea where the idea came from. Not a one. Why, I've never even heard of such a thing. Hilarious!

Mum's going to beat our asses..... Yeah, but I bet your son can hit a baseball! And your mother-in-law isn't nagging YOU about single-handidly turning him into the next Teddy Ballgame either. Seriously though, my brother-in-law works for a glass shop and a lot of those sliders are easy repairs, just don't take the first price you get. If you have the time, shop around for a decent price.

Mum's going to beat our asses..... This is just too funny. Not quite the same, but the boy(7 yr old) just started lacrosse this spring, and man is it refreshing to see some old fashioned coaches out there. My wife(as with most of the mothers) seems to think they are letting em play too hard, I think its great. Great to see a caoch say "walk it off" when these kids get knocked around. Great that they keep score even in scrimmages, which is all he is doing this spring. Good old fashioned sports eh? And, I think that is cause its all boys. My daughter playing too, and complete opposite approach. Course, my boy gettin his ass whupped out there as he is such a skinny thing, but he is starting to push back a bit and getting more aggresive. Good for him.

My son has just completed his third year of HS Lacrosse and it has been great for him. During one game earlier this season his buddy was down fighting for an unsettled ball and getting roughed up pretty good by an opposing player. My son took off from about 15 away and flat laid the opponent out. He must have knocked that kid a good five yards. I almost cried.
