Anybody want an Alison? She just might be available after yesterday afternoon! We were at a classmates birthday party at one of those rock climbing wall places. Alison has having a blast climbing up those walls like a little monkey! Problem was when it was time to have pizza and cake, she refused to come down!!! She was about 3/4 of the way up a 2 story wall and would not budge!!! Tried to shake her off using the rope she was clipped into, no luck. I finally had to go get a harness and climb up there after her! I was NOT a happy Mommy!!! I get up there and am trying to pull her off the wall and she starts screaming at the top of her lungs "Offa me Mommy! Offa me!!!" I can not believe how strong this kid is!!! I finally get her and we're on our way back down and she starts screaming "HELP!!! CALL 911!!!" I wanted to just disappear, never to be seen again by anybody there who was looking up watching my big fat butt and these screaming, thrashing kid make our way down! I know I'll be laughing about this in a few days, well, okay weeks maybe! I'm impressed that she was asking for 911 cuz they've been teaching the kids at school about 911 in an emergency when someone is hurt and I know she was hurting cuz I had a VERY tight grip on the kid!!! Ah, the joys of parenthood! Barb

Hm, well, I'm laughing now. We'd take her, if you're really ready to give her away. But that stuff I said the other day about wishing we had such problems, well, maybe not this time. -- Bob ps Did anybody get this on video?

OMG! ROFLMBO! I don't know when I've laughed so hard and so out loud! I'd have been in horrible shape because I don't go up more than two runs of a ladder.

LOL sorry to laugh but don't our kids know how to show us up in the worst places.
But on the other hand it's fab to hear about the wall climbing and knowing about calling 911 ;D

Gee, thanks you guys!!! I never even thought of the possibility of my big old butt on YouTube!!! I did a quick look on there and don't see anything but geeshhh, now I'm really embar"ass"ed!
Saw a few of the parents from that party at another kiddo's b-day party yesterday..... I was thoroughly ragged on!!! Kept telling me I was going to look really silly going through the bounce house slides and mazes after Alison. Well, guess who had the last laugh - ME!!! Alison was the only one who willing came to the table area for pizza and cake - the others were pulling their kids out! Turn around fair play I guess.
Oh, BTW, I've decided to keep her for now but I'll certainly keep you guys in mind the next time! And Pat is definitely in the lead for that phone call - insane gal is willing to take Sarah too!!! Anybody who is willing to take a 12 yr along with Alison.... well, what can I say?
