A day in the life of Stacy

another Elliott story

So we were at my mom's house for mother's day. The rest of the fam had gone home leaving me, Elliott, Nicole and Todd left. Elliott decides out of nowhere that he is going to jump the baby gate leading into the kitchen. It should be noted that Elliott is a clumbsy bastard. He isn't just going to jump it, he is going to do it at a run. I am absolutly sure that he underestimated himself and that's why he got a run at it. I was cheering him on so he wouldn't puss out. So he runs across the whole living room jumps as high as he can, but also ducks at the same time otherwise he would have hit his head on the doorway. He easily clears it but he didn't anticipate any kind of landing, and lands on his knees. My mom was going to take a picture of it but she was too busy peeing her pants at his idiocy. THEN since misery loves company, as his knees hurt pretty good, he said, "If Todd has any hair on his butt, he'll jump it too." Todd stolls over it, stands right next to it, and hops with both feet together, right over the gate. He could not have made it look more effortless. Leaving Elliott to mumble, "I guess Todd has hair on his butt..."
