The Fall Guy

So, on a lazy Sunday afternoon, a rarity at our home, I escaped to the computer for about 10 minutes when I heard some loud rumblings in the upstairs bedroom. Feeling confident that Hubby was up there with the boys, I paid no attention. After a bit, I climbed the stairs to get in on whatever fun was taking place up there. I walked into Cornell's bedroom and found he and Conway wrestling on a mattress they had pulled into the floor. I asked where Papa was and Cornell told me he didn't know. I plopped down next to them and asked what they were playing. Cornell reported that they were jumping off the top bunk onto the mattress. I commented that he shouldn't do such a dangerous trick...he could be hurt and Conway could try to copy him. Cornell excitedly told me that Conway was jumping off of the top bunk too. 20 months old and already a stunt man. Where are those children's parents?

I'm sure the dad was up to something. Building a duck house, finding a hidden garden at some public park, reading another book about getting back to nature...

Something terribly important.
or napping.

You sound suspiciously like the infamous "Hubby".
