The washing machine at the house does not work well and when I am home on the weekends I take all the laundry to the laundromat and it's done in about one hour. This morning Eleanor accompanied me to the laundromat. Eleanor noticed Skycopter II after we moved the laundry from the washing machines to dryers. I would not give her any money so when we got home she raided her piggy bank. Eleanor vowed to fly Skycopter II when we returned. Upon our return idiocy ensued.
After wedging herself into Skycopter II, Eleanor deposited two quarters. Nothing happened. At that point Eleanor noticed that Skycopter II was not plugged into an outlet. After a huge laugh I dragged Eleanor and Skycopter II close enough to the wall to plug in Skycopter II. Nothing happened. Eleanor put her last two quarters in and nothing happened. We had a good laugh.
When she finally dislodged herself from Skycopter II, Eleanor grabbed one of the laundry baskets. Do you see how the sides of the blue table are raised. Instead of picking up her basket Eleanor slid it down the blue table. When the basket impacted the side of the table Eleanor slammed into the basket and fell to the ground laughing. Fortunately, she appears to have avoided injury. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera out to document her defeat at the hands of physics.
Do you see how the door is labelled "PULL"? Eleanor walked past me to the door, did a 180, and leaned into the door to open it. After all, her hands were full. As I walked up to the door, Eleanor was really putting her back into it. "The sign says 'pull,' idiot." Both of us had a great, loud laugh. Once again I didn't document Eleanor's idiocy. Or did I?
This post is not about embarassing Eleanor. I am celebrating Eleanor and my relationship with her. When we don't take ourselves at all seriously we laugh. We laugh a lot. And I love her more.
