Unforseen Advantage

Everyday I am reminded of an advantage to living in VP4 that was unforseen: when I'm walking to school, I don't have to cross the street to use the cross walk. I can just happily walk a straight line right down 600 and truck up the stairs. It's beautiful.

Godzilla

This post is not actually about Godzilla, it is about my two year old nephew who we call Godzilla sometimes because he breaks everything he comes near. Even though I have no time in my life for anything but school and flag football, I wanted to share an event that my mom related to me last weekend.

First, my nephew Andrew took a flying leap at his three month old brother's head. As a result, he was taken upstairs by his father for a nap. A little while later, the family heard a thump thump thump thump etc. of something falling down the stairs. My mom knew from experience that it was not the sound of a child...so naturally, they wondered what poor object suffered at the hands of Godzilla this time. Any guesses?

A bowling ball.

Andrew rolled a 14 pound bowling ball down the stairs. It broke a stair and put a huge whole in the wall at the bottom. I laughed when my mom told me. She said it must be a lot funnier if you are removed from the situation. I declare that it is.
