The Wet Nerf Ball

One of the kids' favorite things to do is play football in the living room with Daddy. They get out the nerf ball and make teams and name the teams too. One night Daddy was on a team by himself and his team name was "The Worms" (even though he was only one worm). They thought that was hilarious. That same night the competition was named the Ballerinas. I have no idea how that came about since John David was on that team along with Julia. But he embraced it and even showed Julia how to do a ballet dance to celebrate. Very unlike him and his little manly self.

A few nights ago they decided to play for a few minutes before bedtime. The ball was outside though and it had been raining that day. John David tried drying it off but it's Nerf so it had absorbed water. So Daddy thought it would be a good idea to put it in the microwave. I asked him not to just because who knows what a Nerf ball might do in there. But he assured me that nothing would happen. I suppose this would be much more interesting to read if it had blown up or melted into a purple and blue puddle, but it didn't. It just turned around and around as all three of them stood in front of the microwave and laughed their heads off. It was the greatest entertainment they ever had in this house. I didn't think the ball in the microwave was particularly funny, but watching them hoot and holler was most definitely funny.

Just a nice memory I didn't want to forget. =)

  1. That is insane. I could just picture the microwave blowing up or the ball melting, or catching fire.

    It can almost be said in unity. This is why your hubby has the job he does.
