No More Loaners!

So last week there were a couple of fun events. Amanda took Alana home with her and Oliver after school to play one day and they stopped off at Walmart on the way home. Pretty soon I got a text from Amanda that she had broken Alana and she was returning her. Apparently the girl got into a fight with a shopping cart and lost.

There was blood, tears, a band aid and now her nickname is Scarface.

Then the very next day Ryan went over to help his brother with some roofing. A couple of hours later I got a text from Lindsey saying that Ryan had fallen off the roof but that nothing was broken. I called right away of course, all these dumb alarming texts were beginning to get on my nerves. What had happened was, it was quite warm outside and as they were finishing Ryan realized that asphalt singles heat up a lot and he was in a hurry to not be on the roof anymore, so he quickly and unsafely tried to climb down the ladder without touching anything, became unbalanced, knocked the ladder down, tried to grab hold of the roof, scraped off lots of skin and landed on his side on the ground. He is fine, just a bit scraped up.

But I told my sisters that they aren't allowed to borrow my people any more unless they can keep them in the same condition they were received.

Maybe people could leave a damage deposit when they borrow one of your family members...

Arnon's funny! Good luck in the future!

Or they should return them better than they found them. Feed them or give 'em a haircut or something;) Glad everyone's OK.

If your people weren't so cute, helpful and fun we wouldn't be tempted to borrow them.
I'll try to do better in the future though!
Love you!

If I give them haircuts I would get in trouble! Hope all stay safe!
