And then everything flew away because I am AWESOME at tying knots.

in Gotta Laugh

It’s Amy’s Birthday Party Day.

I am inside blowing up balloons with three children when Nathan sticks his head in through the kitchen window.

“Honey, I have absolutely no problem with your knot tying abilities. When it comes to tying knots, you’re excellent.”

I give him a strange look as he continues.

“But when it comes to your judgement of structural integrity? Well, sometimes, you’re not so great at it.”

By this stage I am confused. Structural integrity? Of what? NO IDEA.

“The balloons you tied to the front fence? They blew away.”

Oh. There’s the problem.

“But your knot didn’t come undone. They flew away, with the nail.”

Ah.

Next time: Don’t tie balloons to a nail.

they flew away WITH the nail??

Ha ha! That’s hilarious. Next time tie them to the fence, but first kick the fence post to be sure it is secure…
Thanks so much for making me laugh.

I could totally picture this. Haha! Hope you didn’t lose too many balloons.

Also, this is an example of a great husband. The way he approached it kindly and with complements/consideration. Even if you were confused at first. Sweet husband!! I sadly have seen people who would rush in and start cussing and blaming the other person for doing it wrong!

Ahahahaha, brilliant! Your knot tying abilities are clearly superior to Nate’s nailing abilities. 😛
