Now our car was made before the invention of cup holders ... can you see it coming? Yup, I turned a corner and toppled my melted ice over in to the passenger seat where the thin pages of Tim's Bible promptly began absorbing large quantities of Water.
PANIC
Still driving I began trying to convince myself it wasn't so bad while fumbling behind my seat to find the roll of paper towels I knew was back there somewhere. OH NO what have I done! I began blotting the inside of the back cover, and turning large sections of pages that had stuck together - still driving. Blotting, turning, blotting, driving, turning, blotting. It was hopeless, from John through the concordance - nearly the whole new testament, Ruined! I thought about the scene in The Incredibles where Bob uses a blow dryer on his books, so I held it out the window (not a good idea.)
I arrived at home.
I walked sheepishly into Tim's room, and immediately began to promise to buy him a new one as I held up his soggy wind blown, now 3 inches thicker, Bible.
He began immediately with the classic Its-OK-baby I-love-you-more speech and as I promised one more time to buy him a new one he said,
"It's just been Baptized! It's more Holy now."
I am still Laughing Hysterically!
However, the really ironic part is, I just bought, the day before, a, no joke, WATERPROOF BIBLE!
Awww Nuts
