So I don't know if many people know this, but my family along with the Christie family has a bad obsession with mattress surfing(and the lake, & diet coke)!!
It all started when my mom was out of town, which is basically when all the fun happens. Just kidding!! I love my mom. When I was in high school my dad would always let me have people over and just have some fun parties. But only when my mom was gone could we play hide and seek in the dark....in the house. Let me tell you, that was an adventure. But the only casualty I can think of from playing that is a broken cup. I think that's worth the price for all the fun we had!!
But-one Saturday when my mom was gone my dad, Alli and I were cleaning Alli's room. She always has her bed out so both mattresses were on but we decided to move one upstairs. So after we carried it up the stairs it might've slipped and we might have just gone down the stairs on it. What a great accident!!
Now every Nuttall/Christie gathering we go mattress surfing. However, there was one problem this year. We took the mattresses up to Utah with Mere because she took the trundle bed. So the last day of Christmas vacation Kenny was gone all day searching around Oklahoma City for a cheap, twin mattress for mattress surfing. Mission accomplished. And boy was it cheap!! But it was fun while it lasted!!
So the reason why I thought of this story was because of my conversation with Alli tonight. She was telling me how all her friends came over for a project(She's only in the 3rd grade)!!! She mentioned that the hot tub wasn't working and she couldn't mattress surf, so it wasn't that fun. But then she told me why she couldn't go mattress surfing...
When she went sometime last week the spring popped out of that wonderful, cheap mattress and made a beautiful scratch all the way down the stairs. Oh well-we have to leave a mark in that house somehow!! We have the scratch on the stairs in this house and the broken door in the last house...and many more. Hopefully we'll find another new mattress before the next Nuttall/Christie Chrew gathering!!!

WHAT?!? I didn't know the mattress broke! How sad! We'll definitely have to find a new one before this summer when we're home. I bet Mom was SO happy!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteOH yes...the mattress broke with about 8 people on it...!! Giers, Babcocks, Pitts and a Nuttall! It was a President's Day tragedy. However, that blue covering left blue marks on the edge of the stairs. So, Mere, if you really love everyone so much, you would buy and new mattress and bring the old one back...
ReplyDeleteblah!! we'll see...
ReplyDeletei'm tempted.
