…while he’s wearing headphones.
At Thanksgiving I took a lovely portrait of my oldest brother and his family. I FINALLY got around to creating a layout to go with it. My plan was to frame it and give it to him as a present.
Saturday, I planned a trip to the scrapbook store and Wack Mart with the kids. (I don’t know what got in to me! WM is my least favorite place.) I also took the layout with us in case I found the frame at WM. (Again I don’t know what I was thinking. I had high hopes of being productive.)
We got down at the scrapbook store. (That’s the way I say we got out of the car. Go ahead, make fun. My husband does.)
I left the layout facedown on Jumpshot’s seat. I made a mental note to tell him about when we got back to the car before he opened the door.
When we got back to the car, I put my purchase in the truck and yelled to him not to sit on my layout. See? I remembered to tell him. I thought all was well.
I got in my seat and turned to him to see where he placed the layout.
He didn’t have it.
Agh! You sat on it?!
That’s when I noticed he was wearing his headphones. He lifted his leg. Yep, there it was, crunched. Sigh!
Well, here it is, pre-crunch.
Well it was the thought, right?
