The Watto Disaster
SUNDAY! My favorite morning of the whole week! I had in vision a slow morning with a
tantalizing homemade breakfast. The
smell of bacon and sausage began to waft in the air when the calm morning was
pierced with a shrill shriek from my youngest son as he discovered his Lego
action figure, Watto, had been injured.
Watto met with the sharp teeth of a puppy, the likes of
which do not inhabit Tatooine. We rushed
Watto to our trauma center where he was triaged by the best of the best, our
oldest kids. The prognosis was clear,
Watto needed immediate neck surgery, using the latest technology for Lego
people, SUPER GLUE! My son was not too
excited about the idea, but being assured that the only side effect of super
glue surgery was a shiny neck, he went with the risk of repair!
Watto is now resting comfortably on top the fridge, far from
harms way! The adorable, white, furry,
12-pound opponent apologized profusely and had been banned from entering all
rooms with Legos. If only dogs had
money, they could pay for the hospital bill or a new Watto.
Lesson Learned:
Crazy things happen every day that are beyond our
control. It is up to us to control the
one thing we can, our attitude.
Ways to make a bad day happy?
1. SMILE!! When we
smile, others smile too. They don’t even
need to know we had a bad morning.
2. Dance it out.
Nothing like dancing the Interlude or the Dougie to get your blood pumping and
forget your troubles.
