What Are The Chances?

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

Because of the snow this week, all of the children managed to get outside and play a bit.  Even my 20-year-old. 


Here’s Daniel with his girlfriend and Miss Priss.

Well, something out-of-the-ordinary happened while my 20-year-old was playing around in the snow.  And out of my four children, I think what happened was most likely to happen to him.  Why?   I can’t explain.  It’s just the kind of guy he is. 

He made a snowball.  He threw it into the air, high above his head.  It came down, centered perfectly over a narrow branch in the top of a tree.  The tapering branch speared it perfectly and then tipped gracefully over, where then hung the snowball like an ornament in a Christmas tree.  And it stayed!!

I’m thinking that if you were trying to do that, it would never happen.  :)

It was just a fluke.  And what are the chances of it happening again? 

The snowball hung out there for at least a couple of days.  I just checked again this morning and it’s gone now.  I did not notice it falling, so I’m not sure exactly how long it hung around like that.

Wow.
