Summer fun

I'm at work.

Mrs. Grumpy is out of town with the twins.

Frank is at home alone. He's 17, so should be able to survive for a few hours on his own, right?

Then, while I'm with a patient, this text from him shows up:

  4. How the heck did he get into that situation?

    I can't think of any situation that doesn't require a juvenile nemesis, large quantities of alcohol, or an astounding lack of common sense. Or some combination of the three.

  7. O.K. is he wearing them and what wall? Bathroom, kitchen? Inquiring minds want to know. Whatever, it's a sticky situation and Dad, please don't come unglued.

  8. Woe be unto Frank when Mrs Grumpy gets back and discovers a marred or damaged wall!

  9. And to think in less than a year, Frank will officially be an adult, able to move away from home, get married, and VOTE! Anyone else out there scared?

    On the up side, at least the twins won't be the ones to come home and find him stuck to the wall (if indeed this is the case.) That is the type of humiliation one may never live down...not that Dad putting it on te Webs is much better...

  10. I can see how it could happen by accident. You're using superglue. The tube is not well sealed. It gets knocked onto the chair but you don't realize it and sit on it, quickly get up when you realize you sat on something, then back against the wall while looking for the object you sat on.

  11. Well, I guess just taking the pants off was not an option. (OK, what'd yu do, lift him out or use a scalpel (ooops not a surgeon so scissors?)HOWEVER, Frank had better repay you for the repair job that needs to be done STAT before Mrs. G gets home. Nurses have sharper, more evil things than scissors and scalpels.

  15. Never underestimate the power of a child with a house full of supplies and a few hours of free time.

  17. Inquiring minds want the big picture. Frank, were you wearing the pants when they stuck to the wall? How did you rescue yourself?
