Panicked phone call from DH
This morning after Zippy's X-box hootinanny last night.
DH-"ENDORA-ZIPPY16.5 JUST FAINTED IN MY ARMS IN THE KITCHEN"!!!
(me picturing some kind of "Gone With the Wind Scene"-nearly cracked up and spit my coffee into the phone)
Composed myself and said
Calmly: "DH are you taking him to emergency?" (with all the ambulances available-world move over Zippy is dying-figuring that would be DH usual response).
DH is all a'tizzy-unable to speak
I ask calmly "When did Zippy last eat?"
Groggy Zippy weakly answers in the background "I had some jello last night"
Me "DH I suggest 3 square meals are needed today"
One bowl of oatmeal later and Zippy16.5 is X-boxing away again and DH is sooooo happy now....sigh

oh Rhett
what ever will I do??
*yawn*
unbelievable.

OMG!!!
Can we say "Low Blood Sugar"??
Especially for Zippy, whom I'm quite certain is used to eating more than just mere jello in a 24-hour stretch!
Endora, you crack me up with the "GWTW" reference and the thought of your DH TRYING to lift the Zipster up the steps ala Rhett Butler!
"Of course things worked out nicely for Carol Brady...she had a live-in maid and Mike's first wife was DEAD!"
For Sure
Zippy16.5 at 6'1" and about 170lbs eats like a horse-no bowl of jello is going to tide him over!

How do you stay so calm
That is so funny, sorry its at someones else expense! We should hook up Zippy and SD (what shall we call her) like Blabb and droopy
Good Idea!!
Maybe they could grow up and live "Happily Ever After"-in another country preferably!

You weren't listening when I said Home Health Nurse! LOL

But perhaps your DH would only feel confident if the Zipster was in a major medical center, under critical care!
I know that DH would react the same way
All it would take is a papercut on Blabb's precious little finger, and DH would call me and frantically ask what to do.
:jawdrop:
These men are unbelievable!
too funny
cough cough.........daddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Im sick. Ya I know that one. Thats way i work 4 jobs..........and got a few more little gigs the other day. Let the men deal with there little princes and princess. I will not sit around to watch it. Id rather work. Hell in this economy, I could use the extra bucks. I could vomit when i see this type of behavoir.
also i love the names, zippy, droopy and blabb. Its a crazy disney story.
Did he seriously say
'he fainted "in my arms" in the kitchen'? I'm sorry, but that's funny!
I can just see your H staggering under the weight, dragging him to the couch, game controller sliding slowly around the corner after them... fade to black...
too funnneee
oh Serena thank you for the visual, very lightly you can here DH saying...oh zippy zippy my poor babbeee.. speak to me sweetie pie oh speak to daddee

I probably would have called an ambulance
if SD ever passed out. I'm sure she'd be fine, but H would need treatment for the inevitable stroke or heart attack he would suffer.
