Poor Bubba: Again!

   Bubba is my 15 year old son.  Bless his heart, he gets himself into such situations; hence, the title.  Again!  If you remember back a few months there was a post, "Poor Bubba" where he got himself stuck in mud up past his boots and could not get out.  Well, he's done it again!
     Bubba went out to do his chores and we faintly here him yelling for help.  We weren't too worried because this happens frequently.  The boy falls at least once EVERY SINGLE day.  He gets hurt on a daily basis.  I was the same way when I was younger.  Anyway...I go out to see what happened THIS time.  I walk around the house and then busted out laughing.  This is what I see:

Inprisoned Bub!

  Yep, he's locked in one of the chicken coops.  Apparently, Jasper (the baby donkey) and his momma Minnie wanted to follow him in and eat some of the chicken feed so Bub closed the door behind him.  Jasper didn't appreciate it and locked him in.  See the wood piece there on the door, Jasper used his nose to turn it and locked Bub inside.

    Bub didn't appreciate me running to get the camera before releasing him but this moment HAD to be reported!

Poor Bubba...

     My 15 year old son, bless his heart, is clumsy.  Well, clumsy is an understatement.  The boy falls or trip or hurts himself at least 5 times a day.  We generally contribute it all to his big feet.  His feet seem to grow faster than the rest of him and we tell him he is still trying to get the hang of his big clown feet.  The rest of him has to catch up.  Anyway, I was in my office yesterday and I heard a faint "Help!".  I get up and go outside and this is what I see.

   Yep, there he sat all forlorn looking.  The day before, he and his dad, dug up a tree stump and filled the deep hole with dirt.  Well, it rained all night long and became a muddy pit and then along came Bub, who had forgot about the hole, and this is how I found him.

Don't he look pitiful?

Yep, he's in there good.

Almost past his boots.

   So, after laughing, I went inside to call my hubby.  He had gone into town and with my MS, I knew I couldn't pull him out on my own.  The mud had sucked him in there good and it was so tight, he couldn't even pull his feet out of the boots.

   So...I'm inside making the call and guess what?  My 8 year old came out to see what all the commotion was about and I guess he wanted to join his big brother.

       Yep.  You guessed it.  He stepped off into the mud hole too.  (Thankfully, he removed all his clothing, but his underwear first)
     See, he looks a lot happier about his situation though.  So I get to call Ron, my hubby, back and let him know he has TWO children to help out of the mud now.  Only in our family!!!!
