Adam and I love chinese fire drills. We do them all the time with my sister’s kids…just to make them laugh. When we do them with my little brother it is for pure competition. I’m talkin’ who can run around the car more times and even who can run around the most cars (yeah, you read right….other people’s cars!) at a red light.
While in Mississippi we pulled up to a red light and Adam’s sister’s girls were with us and I nudged Adam like I do normally as the “it’s a go for the drill” type of warning. He about tackled me in the car right there. I guess running around your car and maybe other people’s cars in the delta might get me shot….or so Adam says.
His sister’s girls are coming in less than two weeks to stay with us for at least a couple of weeks. Yay!!!! We are counting down the hours. I, personally, cannot wait. Adam, unfortunately does not have the vacation time but I get to take off and be with them! Double Yay! And, guess what we are going to do…a chinese fire drill.
Anyways, last weekend my little brother was in town for some wedding planning and he was in the car in front of us with some of his friends and we were at a red light and he decided to do a drill. Out he comes and at the same time the light goes a’ green. In hindsight he says he heard his friend say as he was getting out of the car “hey, this is a really short light!”. Jesse decided to make this particular drill a double and was heading back to also run around our car and I was pointing at the light saying it’s green, it’s green~so what does he do? Opens my door and decided to squish in with me. All 6’4 ” 250lbs of him folding up into some odd contortion on top of me. And, imagine Adam just happened to have his camera:
