It's only ankle deep

teddy · 05-30-2008, 06:52 PM

My son (Abe) and I were fixing a barn roof way back in the sticks. We were both up there and the wind blew our ladder down and it broke two pieces. Well, we decided to finish the job and then figure out how to get down. We finished as it was getting dark, then started walking the edge of the roof to find a good place to jump. We could sort of see a manure pile by the corner of the barn. I convinced my son that he should jump down. He jumped, but I couldn't see very well cause it was getting dark. He hollered back up that he was fine and the jump was actually kind of fun. I asked how deep the manure was and he said "It's only ankle deep". I jumped, and was absolutely livid that I had sunk up to my chin in cow poo. I yelled "you said this was only ankle deep". My son smiled and said "It would have been if you'd jumped in head first".

Am I allowed to laugh?

It's a joke. I hope my own flesh and blood would never do something like that to me, though I wouldn't put it past him.

I must say that would have been a

situation...literally. haha reminds me of the story my dad told me about the cop that him and his friends hated that was always causing trouble for them. One day late at night they went to his house the place didn't have indoor toilets still used outhouses, anyways my dad and his buddies moved the poophouse back from the hole in the ground about a foot back off it and waited. The cop came home in the dark and as always went to the outhouse before heading to bed. walked straight into to poohole and sunk up to is chest. as he screamed and struggled to climb out my dad and his friends tried holding back laughter as his wife came running out of the house and discovered him. once he got out she dragged the hose around to spray him down and refused to allow him back into the house till he didn't stink anymore lol
