The other night, Ted asks me for a needle and thread
to SEW his loose button back on his shorts.
What?
I can't even do that.
When my mom came to town last November tightened up ALL my loose buttons.
I could have asked Ted!
Later at dinner, a friend convinced Nick to swallow a grape (what?!)
and he got it stuck in his throat,
ran to Ted and said, "Dad, I'm choking" with tons of stress in his eyes;
but since he could talk, I knew that he was not literally choking
(from all my life-guarding, CPR, First Aid courses in the past few years).
Anyway, Ted tried to give Nick the heimleich maneuver and Nick realized what he really needed was a drink (as did I) so when he asked for it, Ted gave it to him and he swallowed the grape.
Then I choked right before we (finally) began to eat, just on my OJ pulp (duh)
and Ted ran to get me some water.
He was feeling quite proud of all his skills
(and prayed in our dinner prayer that there would be no more choking)
ha!
