Odd picture you say?...well, here's the story. The kids are playing with a large beach ball that somehow ends up in the egress window well, they call Dad and he climbs down and retrieves it and EASILY climbs back out. Fast forward a few days, same thing happens but, only Mom is home so I climb down, toss the ball out and then realize it won't be as easy for my 40-year-old out of shape self to get out as it was for my in shape-recently successful dieter- husband (plus I'm shorter). Somehow I manage to get myself out and let me tell you IT WASN'T EASY, and even better the neighbor kids were able to witness this lovely scene. I suggest they play somewhere where the ball won't end up in the window well because I'M NOT GOING DOWN THERE AGAIN! Of course this happens again because who listens to Mom anyway...so, what do my kids do? They go into the garage, get the step ladder, drop it in the window well, climb down get the ball and climb right out....proof positive that my kids are smarter than me!!
P.S. Don't even think about leaving a "we already knew that" comment!
Anyone know someone that can get us a good deal on REALLY LARGE window well covers?
