Ding!

Jordan is such a goofball like my mother. He also tends to be "spacey" or what Josh calls a "dingbat". On Saturday Jordan kept doing careless things....clinking his fork on his glass at lunch, dropping stuff, chewing with his mouth open. Josh finally jokingly told him that he was going to get a bell and every time Jordan did something careless he was going to whack him on the head with it so it would ding and get his attention. For the remainder of the meal Josh kept saying "Ding!' whenever Jordan stopped paying attention to what he was doing.

Josh finished lunch before the rest of us, and went to the cupboard to get his vitamins. The bottle slipped out of his hand and fell with a clatter to the counter and, without missing a beat, Jordan said, "Ding!"

Oh. we. laughed!!! And laughed. And laughed some more. I don't think I've ever heard all seven of us laugh like that before. It was refreshing and very needed that particular day.

You kinda, sorta had to be there, but it was something that I didn't want to forget. ;)
