we finally did it. declan has some awesome semi-new bunk beds. we were very sad when "pier 1 kids" closed and we didn't have the opportunity to buy the other bunk bed for declan to make the set (we bought one of the beds 2 years ago). after discovering the store had closed, i started searching ebay and craigslist for used pier 1 kids bunk beds to match the bed he had. finally! i found it on craigslist in austin. my parents went and picked it up and now its in declan's room and looks great.
the night we put the beds together, kril was telling declan about the spinning fan close to the top bunk. kril tells him why he needs to stay sitting down when he's on the top. meanwhile, i am with kiera in her room listening to this whole conversation. yes, kril has declan's safety in mind, but the conversation made a strange turn.
kril: declan, when you are on the top bunk you have to stay sitting down. look how close the fan is.
declan: i'm not going to hit it daddy.
kril: i know, but you still need to be careful so you don't hit your head on the fan and cut your head off.
declan: what happens if my head comes off?
kril: well, if your head gets cut off, it cuts through your jugular vein and you'll bleed to death.
declan: what's a jugular vein? what's a jugular? what's a vein?
kril: that's how blood gets to your brain?
declan: but if my head comes off, i'll just put it back on and get a cast and i'll be fine.
kril: you can't get a cast on your neck if your head gets cut off, you'll be dead.
declan: no i won't. i'll put my head on and have a cast and be better.
kril: whatever.
kril leaves the room. then i hear declan in his room singing a song about jugular veins and blood.
i wanted to intervene and tell kril to stop talking about blood and veins, but it was too funny!

That story made me laugh out loud. I could hear James saying those same things.
very funny! I laughed and laughed! I can just hear the conversation now! :)
That is too funny. I think that Declan has the right idea and Kril needs to listen to him.
laura, I just found your blog from someone else's blog, from someone else's blog, from someone else's blog. either way, I came in a roundabout way...this story cracked me up! I was laughing so hard. Anyways, thought I'd say hi. Hope you are well! Where are you these days? I have a blog also if you want to check up on us. www.peeples.wordpress.com tell kril hi!
