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.

"Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without one."

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!

Step Parenting – you might need to step back before you step in something!

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!

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.
