But well frankly...I am a little freaked.
As we were sitting out on our covered patio tonight we happen to look over and see a tiny little bird egg carefully resting on a chair. Weird place for an egg to be as we have a covered patio. At the exact moment as P picked it up for closer inspection a blinding flash, strange crackle and the most deafening sound of thunder all came down at once. Every single hair follicle on my arm and back of my neck stood straight up toward the dark sky. P felt the crackling sensation down the back of his calves. He was the one who was standing the farthest away from the rest of us. Of course the boys were crying hysterically and we jumped into the house faster than you can imagine.
I will never forget the sounds of the crackling/popping and the thunder. Our wonderful neighbor who is a firefighter witnessed this happen and came right over to check our attic. He was worried about a fire starting. The house is fine and we are all fine.
The kids on the other hand... may have some serious trouble falling asleep tonight.
What are the chances of this happening? Is this good luck or bad luck? Should I play the Lotto tonight? Run off to Vegas and bet on one number? Or just go put on protective headgear and hide in the closet for awhile?
Oh...and the egg did not survive the force of P's hand clenching into a tight fist.
No, not our house just a crazy picture I found!
