Okay let me see if I can explain this. It is Saturday morning and Dan and Heather get up early to go birthday shopping for Evan. Charlie and I are still in bed. We slowly start hearing our three grandchildren get up and walk around upstairs. We lay there in bed. Next thing we hear are the sound of three sets of running feet. Again, we just lay in our bed. Then we feel our bed move and figure Maggie (the cat) has jumped in bed with us. Then another addition to the bed. Did Maggie find a friend to bring to our bed. OH NOOOOOOOO.
Charlie and I don't move......then............something else gets in bed with us. All of this is going on behind my back, so I am not sure what is going on. Then we hear Maggie purring. Then we hear a whispered, " Come on Maggie, you can come up here too". Charlie and I are trying not to laugh because we realize all three of the grandkids are in bed with us. So after about 5 minutes of total silence and they are not moving. They do not want to wake us. I say, " What are you kids doing in our bed"? All three of them at the same time say, " grandma there is a horse fly upstairs and mom and dad are gone". Charlie and I nearly die laughing. They would not get out of that bed. So we told them go upstairs while we get dressed. With the look of HORROR on all three faces, they refuse. So they went and sat on the basement steps.
After I got dressed, I went up and killed it with the fly swatter. So GRANDMA saved the day. You should have heard the sounds of relief from three frightened children. What a start to the day. So Dan and Heather have strict orders to not leave this house if there is a horse fly within a mile of our door. lol
