Chase holding his cousin, Kayden Nov. 2010 |
The month was December, and Don and I had taken the boys to one of many Christmas Tree Farms in Oregon. That year we picked out a Noble Fir and even paid extra money to have it flocked. Sometime, after we decorated the tree but before Christmas, I was persuaded to have a Tupperware Party at my house. I remember afterward, as we were cleaning up, my husband walked into the room, stood right in front of the beautiful, decorated Christmas tree and preceded to make conversation with me and the Tupperware lady. Out of nowhere, Chase walked up to his dad as if he wanted to ask him something, and pushed him! Don was caught completely off guard. He lost his balance and fell backward into the tree. Ornaments and flocked snow went flying everywhere. We were flabbergasted to say the least! (Don was also mad as hell.)
To this day, Chase cannot give us an answer as to why he pushed his dad into the tree. Our angel child was temporarily possessed :) I do wish we would've had it on film. In those days, I could have sent it to America's Funniest Home Videos. I'm sure Bob Sagget would have loved narrating that moment in time.

ROFLMAO! I am sure it wasn't very funny at the time but now it seems to be because he was caught off guard. I can visualize it happening and think that it would have been great to catch on film for America's Funniest Home Videos.
I love that story. Still giggling.
I remember buying a Christmas tree (real)for the first and only time as a child. We learned I was allergic to the dumb things and couldn't get another one after that. We made the frnt page of the paper, that was in Washington State. You reminded me of this wonderful memory I thought I forgot. Thanks for sharing. Sorry about your tree!
