I know I never blog and this one doesn't even contain pictures but I have to share and am anti facebook right now.
Last weekend Kyle's YMCA basketball game coincided with some recruitment event at the Y...it's January, come join the Y! Anyway, they had a promotion where if you took the 'polar plunge' you win one free entry into a raffle for free swimming lessons. Awesome. Aaron can't swim...really...it's bad...he's 6 and refuses to listen to any parental instruction on this...destined to a life in the baby pool kind of bad. So I tell Dan to do it. Here's the conversation (more or less).
Me: Go do the polar plunge so Aaron can get swimming lessons for free.
Dan: What?!?!
Me: Just go down the water slide one time and you might win some lessons.
Dan: Might?
Me: Well it's a raffle so only one person wins...but I just know it will be you.
Dan: Okay, I'll go if you go.
Me: ME?!?
Dan: Why not you?
Me: I'm not dressed for that...I didn't know about this.
Dan: Me either
Me: I'm wearing jeans, and I'm a girl, I have to keep my shirt on. You're wearing workout shorts and you're a guy...take off your shirt and use it as a towel when you're done.
Dan: Seriously?!?
Me: Just do it...the kids will think you're awesome.
Dan: (Ten minutes later, freezing cold and dripping wet) It's a good thing I love you, get in the car.
HE WON!!! I KNEW HE WOULD! Now instead of looking like a horrible wife who subjects her husband to torture on a whim I look like a genius (who subjects her husband to torture on a whim).
Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. I'm so glad he won, that makes it worth it. It makes me wonder how many other people did it?
ReplyDeleteHe was the 4th person to go down the slide and the guy in charge said last year they only had 12 entries so I don't think he had a lot of competition...but I know he at least had 3 people to beat out...AND HE DID!
