I can see you and Ugly having a tug-of-war with the kids, each on one
end of that mattress!

ROTFLMAO!!! We did! We did! The aftermath of that day was the tea-towel
fight to end all tea-towel fights. I was winning until DH (then DBF)
arrived and drew blood in a particularly impassioned attack.
I still have the scar.

Haha that's funny.
It reminds me of a time about 20 years ago, when my mom parked the
volvo stationcar on our uphill driveway... or rather forgot the
handbrake! The empty car rolled backwards and landed across the
street, exactly where two neighbours had their fence. The only damge
to anything was the handle of the back door snapped off and landed in
our garden. Dad got it fixed but it never worked the same again.
