Grandpa's Gymnastics
Grandpa tried to step over the baby gate on Sunday. My Grandma is the only one over fifty that is actually agile enough to do this, even though she is the shortest. This became apparent when Grandpa tried it. The gate is a piece of junk. It swings open like a door and uses pressure up against the doorway to keep closed. Except, like I said, its a piece of junk. If you jerk it a little it will come loose and swing open. Gabe and Olivia both managed to open it on Sunday and hurt themselves on it. So Grandpa tries to clear it. He swings one leg up, gets it caught, but manages to get it over and planted. Then the second foot gets caught, jerks the gate open, gets caught in the gate, hippity hopps three times in extreme slo mo, then hits the floor. Other than the crushing blow to his ego, he was fine. He was hurting in the morning. He said a lesser man would have broken a hip. A smarter man would learn how to open the gate. Since he didn't brake a hip, it is funny to replay it in my mind. Almost as funny as Elliott biting it on the same gate. Elliott's was dumber and hurt more. Mom's getting a new gate tommorrow.
