Hunter’s version of the story.
“I was half way asleep and I was trying to get my underpants out and the TV fell on me and I could practically not breathe…”
Here is Jimmy’s side of the story.
I woke Hunter up and told him to take a shower and get ready for school. (This is an every morning ritual) I came upstairs and got a drink of water. When I went back downstairs he was in the room talking to mom. I pulled him onto the stairs and told him that he is not suppose to wake me up. I went and sat down on the computer and a Hunter went into his room to get dressed. Then I heard a big CRASH!!! I jumped up on a dead run for his room and heard “dad” So I speeded up; When I first went in the room I saw the dresser and the TV on the ground. I yanked up the dresser and I looked down and all I could see was his body then noticed the TV was on his head. And right behind me was Shauna and before I could get down there she was lifting the TV off his head. Before we pulled all of it off, I couldn’t even see him, after Shauna had lifted the TV off, I saw the scared look on his face and the tears started coming. I picked him up and hugged him until he stopped crying.
Here is what really happened…..
Hunter was getting ready for school and had just gotten in trouble for waking me up to ask me a question. He was trying to open his top drawer to get his undies out. The previous night he had stuffed the drawer below it, so full, he couldn’t close it all the way. Me, I was drifting peacefully back to sleep when all of a sudden……CRASH, BANG, THUD! On my way up and out of bed next I heard screaming. “Dad, Help, Help!” By this time both Jimmy and I had reached the bedroom, Jimmy first. All I saw was Hunters head squished between the TV and the floor. So I started working on getting that off, out of the corner of my eye I saw jimmy moving faster than I have ever seen him move. He was lifting the dresser and quickly shoved it against the wall. Then he proceeded to remove all the drawers off of Hunter. I was carefully lifting the 75lb+ TV off his head. Then Jimmy picked him up and hugged him for a long time. Jimmy had said he didn’t even see the TV until I started lifting it off his head. I don’t know if you can see in the picture but the side of his face looks like he got a pretty good scrape. I don’t know if it was from the carpet or the TV. After he stopped crying we explained that when he puts his clothes away that he shouldn’t overstuff his drawers. That drawers are suppose to close after you put the clothes in them.
holey moley-ouchie! what a way to wake up! i guess this is one of those instances with it's own natural consequences-i bet he will never stuff his dresser drawers again:)
