There was an episode of Monk where the crime took place in a warehouse full of bubble wrap. One on the cops accidentally popped some. Monk, of course, had to pop the rest of the roll. Stottlemeyer stayed and help him.
My family has an odd habit of dying on holidays that move.My step-grandfather died on Thanksgiving.My maternal grandmother died on Easter.And my paternal grandmother died on Leap Year.I don’t do statistical analysis, but I figure that has to be an anomaly.
My daughters are 23 months to the day apart. When I brought home the youngest my oldest absolutely adored her baby sister. One day I was cleaning out the baby’s umbilical cord with alcohol. Anyone who has had children knows they cry (not due to pain, but because it is cold). Now when she cried my oldest slapped my hand and said, “Don’t hurt the baby Mommy!”. It was so cute and sweet. They are in their 30s now.
We had a man in our neighborhood who was paralyzed and had an electric wheelchair. Everyday he would “walk” his Irish wolfhound and his great Dane. The dogs were the coolest, most laid-back ones I have ever met. We joked that the doggies would be able to pull him if his battery ever died.
In high school we lived in Colorado. The school I went to for 10th grade NEVER closed. All of the other districts would be closed, but not Harrison. One time a bad storm happened on a day of finals. Those were always spread over 2 days. Instead of 7 periods, we got 3-4 extra long classes. Well the blizzard happened on the day of the first set. So many parents’ vehicles were damaged, and so many lawsuits were threatened that the school finally acquiesced and closed. That second day was actually perfectly sunny!
Any Jackals here? Seth gets grief for that.
