• We have a drawer in the kitchen that has been giving us fits. It wouldn't close all the way. It'd get stuck open about 4 inches. This caused problems since it was in a corner and when it was open, we couldn't open other drawers. So today, Brent was in the kitchen making lunch. We had chicken nuggets & french fries. Anyway, he was in there and I'm in the living room (the way it should be, by the way), and I hear all this crashing around. It's pretty obvious that he's having trouble with the drawer. The crashing continues and I hear some disturbing sounds, so I yell, "Hey you're breaking the wall!" No response and more crashing. It's around 2 or so when this happens. Life continued, we had lunch, Brent took the kids to the park, we had Root Beer floats and watched cartoons. Then just a few minutes ago, around 7:30, Brent and I are in the living room and something catches his eye...

  

  Yes, friends, that is a hole in the wall.

  

  In his wrestlings with the drawer, Brent managed to send it through the wall into the living room. I knew I had heard something wierd, but it was just low enough behind the couch that sitting in the chair, I didn't see the hole happening. (Don't worry, mom, your couch is fine!) Brent's first thought was that Jon did it! We realized pretty quickly the actual cause, though. I started laughing and I still think it's pretty funny. I don't think Brent finds it quite as humorous. I'm glad it was him and not me who sent it thru the wall. Now we have a great excuse to repaint the living room! Once Brent got done assessing the damage, he sat down and said, "We need to get a bigger couch." Just a few inches taller and no one's the wiser!
