death sprinkler

Another funny memory I am documenting for my own sake: (may not be funny to anyone else)
Our grass is looking a little sad in the back so we borrowed a sprinkler from my parents. One Sat. night while John was at church I decided it would be fun to water the grass & let the kids run in the sprinkler... seemed logical. I was also still in my giant walking boot that shouldn't get wet. I got the kids naked & sprayed them with the hose and we were all having a great time. Then I went to hook up the sprinkler & it started spraying in a circle so hard & fast... it was so out of control I can not even put it into words. The kids were standing by the fence screaming & crying while I was hopping around trying to dodge the water and get a hold of the sprinkler. It was spraying to the other ends of our neighbor's yards on both sides. Its a shame no one was watching this because it would have been hilarious. By the time I got things under control me, my boot, & the naked kids were drenched... they were both just saying "no sprinkler no sprinkler" while still crying. We just stuck to the hose for the rest of our time outside and have since just let our grass die.
