A very dramatic hour

Three year old drops two crayons between the panes of the patio door.... Now patio door won't close.... Mom and big brothers try to fish out crayons... No luck, Dad with his thrown out back limps over and joins in the fun. While Mom alternates between trying to fish the crayons out and crushing them with the door. Dad makes a tool out of a coat hanger...

Mom reaches back behind the curtain... Her hand is drenched in freakish sticky spider webs. She jumps - I gigantic devilish spider clings to the wall. No time for girlish shrieks she wipes the spiderwebs off her hand with the curtain. Disguising.... The eight legged demon will have to remain until the crayon incident is resolved. She keeps one eye on him while resuming her work.

As mom, dad & big brothers all work to remove or kill the door obstruction, right before our very eyes, three year old drops a stick between the panes of the patio door. WTF... Seriously. Right in front of them, the crime is committed again. But this time, not with a malleable crayon. This time it's a stick.

"I need a hero" starts running through the background of mom's mind.... Crippled husband stands up, (no offense hunny, dramatic effect) with one swift move pops of the wood face of the door track. With one quick glance determines how the door sits in the track... Through mom's protests, "no hunny! your back! let me try!" he lifts the door out of the track.... and the crayons, mostly mushed to a pulp are picked vacuumed out...

The stick was never found...

Really, we all saw the stick go in, but it wasn't there...

I didn't know there was a back hole lurking in my patio door.

Seriously - I did not lie... Seriously - I know you think I did, it was a very dramatic hour.
