Only Matt....

Have you ever looked at your husband and thought to yourself, "WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?"

Unfortunately, I have to admit that, yes, I have thought this to myself a time or two (or maybe a few more) throughout our marriage.

Last night was one of the "few" times that I've looked at Matt and thought out loud "WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING"????? And it was one of those times that no one present had a good answer....

We were at Rick and Danyel's house last night, and were eating pizza outside on the back patio. The kids were playing in the yard when they spotted Emma outside as well. (Emma is the little girl that lives directly behind Rick and Danyel and she will be in Katherine's kindergarten class next fall). All the kids ran around the fence to go and play in her yard. Caleb was just standing at the fence, pitifully watching. He wanted to play with them, but was afraid of Emma's two big dogs.

All of a sudden, Matt decides that it'd be fun for Caleb to play catch with a Nerf football. (*OK, he had good intentions, but still....). He yells, "Hey Caleb, wanna play catch?", grabs the ball, and launches it as hard as he can across the backyard. Before Caleb could even turn around, the ball smacks him right in the back of the noggin. The poor kid didn't even know what hit him!

Again, I'll repeat... MATT, WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?????
