Ducks! that's the point.
Just a quick update to tell a rather funny story of what happened yesterday.
So as I may or may not have mentioned previously, oddestoneout and I went to the duck pond to feed the ducks. (me, aptly, dressed as Crowley) and while none of the ducks sunk, we sort of did.
See, the duck pond near us has this mill across the street from it, where you can go in and buy duck feed and little mementos and such things, and we got a bag of duck feed and feed the ducks for a while. It was all good and fun. And then we decide, hey, let's get a picture by the fence! Because there's this fence post outside the mill, right on top of this little slope that goes down into the water on the other side. So Blondie and I decide we should get a picture by there, and her father gets the camera, and we all stand by the fence, and Blondie grabs her brother's sleeve and pulls him back against the fence with us.
Here's the thing.
That fence isn't nailed together. (You know, like a normal fence should be. Oh no, they're too good for nails, so this fence is instead fitted together.) And being that it's only fitted together in slots, pulling a human body against the fence suddenly is more than enough force to dislodge it.
Which is exactly what happened.
So the top fence posts falls out, and at the sudden loss of it, the two of us (her brother managed to stay standing) find ourselves in the hands of gravity.
I guess gravity was having a field day and misplaced his er, balls. Found us and said "why, they'll do!" and the rest is history.
So we lurched backwards and the second post (which was just behind our knees) tripped us on the way over. So we went toppling over that and rolled own the hill before we even knew what happened, we were on the ground. I landed on top of the bloody cause of all this (ie, the damn nail-less pole) on my left shoulder-blade. Which truthfully, didn't start hurting until this morning. Ugh. Blondie landed on top of her our wrist and nearly sprained it, so we then found ourselves heading to the ER to check that out.
Yeah. Long day.
It was hilarious, though.
And we decided it was the ducks calling for Divine Retribution for my always sinking them. And that my soul was wanting retribution for another incident involving go-karts and crashes and pain (and Blondie almost discorporating me) back in September. And so opportunity knocked.
Or dislodged, rather.
Blondie says we were Illuminated. (Angels and Demons reference) since we hit the Earth, flew through the Air, put Water on it (in the form of ice) and her hand was burning in pain.
Hahaha, only us. I swear.
Oh, and there was this little kid in the ER who was hilarious. He was asking his father what blood was because he saw it on a rag that his mother had used to wipe his brother's eye.
"What's that?"
"Blood."
"Do I have that?"
"Yes, we all have it."
"Do we all have it in our eyes?"
"yes, we all have blood in our eyes."
and then the father went on to try and explain the functions of capillaries to this kid, who was probably about five.
