Well, my wife and I were joking about one of the kids sliding down the stairs in a laundry basket, and jokingly asking "wonder what would happen?"
Well needless to say, we had no idea that our 5 yr old heard us talking, and decided to try it just as my wife and I got to the bottom of the stairs. I laughed at first, and then said "Don't ever ever do that again! You're gonna give your brothers the idea to do it!"
Needless to say, I sat there for a while, and my 5 yr old says "Daddy it's fun try it." I kept saying "no. no." After a while of him begging, :idea: I gave in, and said "Okay, but only once." I must have lost my mind!
I get up to the top of the stairs in an large laundry basket thinking..."Okay, I can control this thing, and make it go down slow."
Well, that was a misjudgement to say the least. My wife was sitting and watching the whole thing, in a sort of amusement, almost as if she knew I was gonna get messed up. 😛opcorn:
After I controlled the first step, the dang thing seemed to have gotten a mind of it's own, and I couldn't stop it! and away I went. 😱
I tried grabbing the rail, and that just turned me backwards! That of coursed caused me to flip backwards at the bottom of the stairs. :bouncy:
Once I was able to move again, I calmly stood up and said "There ya happy now? Now don't ever do it again!" lol
The odd thing was everything but the landing was fun 😀
Word of advice....don't do it, and if by some slim chance you lose your mind, wear protective gear. The result of my mistake....I've renewed my status of "hero" with my 5 yr old. :thankyou:
