jehova's witnesses, barfing his guts out & a well-deserved pop in the jaw

so the title pretty much explains our morning. it started off quite nice but things got a bit crazy when a couple of sweet elderly jehova's witnesses stopped by. they quoted a couple of bible scriptures, ben quoted a couple back. he got them water bottles and they were on their way. i did check to see if they had marked our door with a pencil (isn't that what they do if they're going to come back?) but no such luck.

after that we got one phone call from the high school stating that carrot top was "barfing his guts out" and needed to be picked up. we always give the guys just a little bit of time to "recover" since normally they are just trying to get out of a class they haven't done their homework for.

10 minutes later, we got a call from the principal stating that ernest needed to be picked up because he had been hit in the jaw by another student. ahhhhh, beautiful. we were just grateful to hear that it wasn't the teacher ernest had been threatening last week that had finally snapped and punched his lights out.

so they are both home. carrot top has miraculously recovered from his ailment but the consequences for coming home "sick" are that you stay in your room for the ENTIRE day. we have been sanitizing the house just to be on the safe side.

ernest's story is that his entire class had been placing bets to see if he would punch a kid or if the kid would punch him first. ernest claims that once the kid knew there was cash involved, he hauled off and punched him in the jaw. however, the principal stated that other members of the class are saying that they were witness to ernest threatening to stab the kid with a comb. a lofty feat, but not too lofty for ol' ernest. get him riled up, give him a comb, and watch him go! the other kid earned a steep $55 for the alleged right hook.

hope everybody else is enjoying their tuesday, we sure are!
