When we bought this house we remodeled the thing. The Mrs. wanted to replace the sliding glass doors so we did and I held on to the other doors so the boys could break them. Well, yesterday was the day. The boys had two glass doors each. DG9 is up first and his first throw bounces off. The second throw however, spiders the entire window. It was awesome. WG7 spidered his with a very small rock thrown very hard.
Next up, a bat. DG9 swung the bat. The bat bounced off and it hurt his hands. I don't think he was expecting the glass to fight back. The second blow was a success and the window smashed to bits. At the plate, WG7. He swings, the bat bounces off the glass, it's a miss - no break. He swings and a miss - no break. He swings and a miss. He swings and a miss. With great determination he raises the bat high over head, he swings, the bat bounces off, it's a miss. A swing and a miss. A swing and a miss. And a swing and a miss. He's huffing and puffing by now. One more swing and a miss.
Finally, he picks up a brick. It's big, it's heavy. He raises it high overhead and brings it down hard. The brick hits the sliding glass door and break into two pieces. With utter dismay he looks at me and says, "What?"
Eventually, he does smash the glass. We clean up the glass until after dark.
In retrospect I should have filmed the event. WG7 is always asking to put a video up on America's Funniest Videos and that would have been perfect. Dang it!
If you had been 20 minutes earlier you could have seen one set of the sliding glass doors here.
