STUPID NEWTON

    On this day in 1666, Bert Newton’s younger brother, Sir Isaac Newton, discovered gravity when an apple fell on his head. (Okay, it might not have been this day exactly, but it certainly has a Wednesday “feel” about it). And subsequently, devised the theory of gravity that…

    “What goes up…must come down.”

    Obviously, Newton was not a father. Because if he knew anything at all about babies, then he should know the opposite is true…

    “What goes down…almost always, at some point…must come back up!”

    And so it was, that today, Indy discovered that Newton…

    Was full of sh*t.

    It’s hard to keep a good man down…even harder to keep down a belly full of milk. Today was a first for us, when Indy discovered that not only can you spew your hard earned sustenance all down the front of your clothes, but you can also do it…

    Through your NOSE…

    And he did not like it…at all.

    But the look on his face was priceless. I’m not sure if you’ve ever seen a 5 month old baby look at you like, “What the hell was that? How did that even happen?” But it’s the same face you have when you hear the phrase, “Big Brother returns for another season” or “Jessica Simpson wins Academy Award”.

    And for both of us, we learned two very important lessons…

    DO NOT: drink your milk down like it’s going out of fashion.
    DO NOT: play the “Sit down, Stand up” game directly following said fashion statement.

    Stupid Daddy…Stupid Newton.

      We had a projectile the other morning. Mumma was in the shower and Indy and I were in our big bed. I was asleep but woke when I heard Indy make a “gagging” sound. I looked at him, he looked fine. But the bedspread? Looked like it was signed by Pro Hart.

Don't leave me hangin'. What's your thoughts?
