Our family trip to Costco

Recently, Max has picked up the oh so very annoying habit of punching us as hard as he can when he wants our attention. That being said, the other day, we went to Costco to return something. Brent and Max went to return the item, and Emma and I stayed outside to get some food. Brent was taking FOREVER so I called him to see what was happening. He told me that he passed out and the ambulance was on its way. As I rushed in to see what happened, out came Brent in a wheelchair with Max on his lap. Brent had a crooked grin on his face...I asked him what happened and he whispered that Max had, and as Emma so delicately puts it when she tells the story, "punched him in the nuts". He said he was fine but the Costco manager would not release him until the paramedics cleared him (Brent hadn't told the manager what happened). Up pulled the fire truck along with an ambulance and 10 EMS/firemen hopped out to rescue Brent. He assured them that he was fine and proceeded to fill them in on what had actually happened. Everyone got quite a laugh out of the whole situation. Apparently, after Max punched Brent, shall we say, below the belt, he took a deep breath and sat Max down in a time out along the counter. Then he stood up to make his return only to pretzel down and pass out cold on the floor. Max thought dad was just messing around, so while he was out, he took dad's hat off, hit him in the face with it, and then straddled him and tried to ride him like a horse. When Brent came to, the wheelchair was there ready for his exit. And that, my friends, is our family trip to Costco.
