A couple of weeks ago our Mimi came to visit. The boys slept on the pull out sofa and gave her their room. (Her guest room flooded in the big storm.) Unbeknownst to me, the boys had created a trap door in their room. (This is what we get for reading The Dangerous Book for Boys to them and encouraging them to "be inventive".) They removed the plywood from under their window seat pillow. When Mimi went to climb across the window seat to close the blinds, she fell in. Not just a foot, she actually fell in up to her waist and was really trapped! Apparently she yelled for us, but no one heard her. So for 5 or so minutes she was stuck. When she got out, she called us all up there and explained what happened. I think she was really perplexed and baffled. Immediately the boys started high fiving and jumping up and down screaming, "Woo hoo! It worked, it worked! Our trap door worked! And then...Oh, sorry Mimi."Thankfully Mimi is a really good sport and later we all had a good laugh. Oh, what two best-friend, wanna-be Indiana Jones/spies, adventure-loving brothers are capable of when sharing a room together!
