Deep in the back of my mind I knew this day would come. From the day it was delivered, I could sense it was destined for destruction. I ignored these feelings, hoping that I was just being paranoid, but alas, I could not ignore the truth. Our brand new, very expensive, 48 inch LCD (aka Dan's baby) has met it's fate and the little destroying angel is, as some of you may have guessed, Owen.
Let me lay out the scenario. One mini Jedi knight, one purple light saber, one split second, one mighty blow, one piece of garbage tv, one VERY in-trouble little boy!
Light Sabers are now banned from our house and I am restricting any shows from Owen that go beyond the ABC's and 123's. (which should be easy now that our TV is trash) The sweet child is not even going to know what a weapon looks like till he's 32......at least!
I'm sure some of you are wondering how Dan took the news. First, understand that Dan loves TV. He is a movie guy, a travel channel junky and a huge football fan. He's had his eye on an LCD for years and did all his homework when buying this thing! He was out of town this week again, so I broke it to him via text message. I felt that would be safest. :) He was sooo good about it, and even asked how I was feeling before getting the specs on the damage. I think he could tell I was a little stressed! The TV shows the crack where Owen whopped it, and techno colored streaks up and down the entire screen. It's basically garbage. sigh...I'll just have to add this to Owen's pay us back in twenty years list right below, two cell phones, a lap top, two couches, a DVD player, four fish and a stained ceiling, (over flow from the bathroom sink above) just to name a few.
I love him and I'm telling you that if he didn't have his adorable big blue eyes, I don't know where he'd be today!
Here's a few pics. Dan must be recovering alright because he asked me to take these before throwing the light sabers away. He tried to do one picture smiling, but I reminded him about how sad Daddy was going to be and the rest of the pictures were his sad face. He kept saying, "I sahwy I boke it." I really think he means it too. I can tell you one thing though, he's not getting with in ten feet of my camera!
Only Owen.

This is the shot where I reminded him these were not happy pictures!
That's more like it.
"I bwoke it?"
"oh, I sahwy."
