Analysis:
So the story starts at William's soccer. I had Mr O in town and we went to watch William play in his local league. I have a couple of fold away chairs that I got off Amazon. Now, to be honest, their quality is not the best and they do sag a bit low when you sit in them. One has a broken arm rest and the other was unused, so new. Being the perfect host, I took the broken one.
Anyway, the game concludes with William being subject to a 7-2 thrashing and Mr O makes the comment that he might find it difficult to get out of the chair. The big disappointment I have is that I wasn't able to grab my phone to get pictures or video of this. So, Mr O lunges forward, but doesn't quite make it up and falls back into the chair. The chair topples back, but after sufficient flapping, Mr O prevents it from going over backwards. All seems fine except that one of the supports has snapped at the joint. Another lunge forward and Mr O again makes it half way up, but again falls backwards into the chair. This time the force is too great for the chair. Another support snaps and the whole thing topples backwards.
So at this point the turtle is on it's back with its arms and legs waving in the air. I mean Mr O is rolling of the floor trying to separate himself from the chair. A concerned parent comes over and asks if he's OK. I would have answered for him, but couldn't on account of the fact that I was laughing too much. He mumbles something to the effect of being ok, rolls over and gets up. Well, gets half way up and collapses on the floor again.
This obviously causes me to start crying because I'm laughing too much, even though during this time I've managed to get out of my chair and am in the correct upright position. Owen's laughing, but obviously not convincingly enough as the woman starts asking “oh my god, are you injured? are you injured?”
