New Series

Reed Family vs Pavement Part I- This episode is a comedy the whole family will enjoy. The main subects are the clumsy mom, the sidewalk, a pot of soup, and a new pair of jeans. Aired Tuesday evening in a neighborhood in Illinois.

After spending the afternoon cooking at a friend's house, Terra and her children prepare to return home. Stocked with many meals to fill their freezer, it takes several trips to load the car up. On the last trip, her friend carries the baby to the car while Terra carries a pot of soup, and a skillet of Pistachio Lime Chicken. It is dark and Terra is hurrying so she wouldn't be late to pick up her daughter from gymnastics. As she rushes to the car, she trips over an uneven bump in the sidewalk, sending the soup airborne. She tries to catch herself without luck. With the epitome of grace and elegance she crashes into the driveway, only to have the soup come splattering down over her. Soup is in her hair, all over her face, covering most of her clothes, and splattered over her shoes. As she stands up, she is oblivious to the pain in her knees, the concerned questions from her friend, and the soup she is now wearing. As she struggles to gain her balance she is only focused on one thing: her new jeans!!! Are the okay? Did they survive? With horror she glances down to find a giant slice across the knee. "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT THE JEANS!!!!!!! "she wants to cry out. Stunned, she calls her husband to pick up her daughter and returns into the house to clean herself off.

Reed Family vs Pavement Part 2: This episode will pull at your heartstrings. It features an adorable little boy, a new winter coat, and a driveway. This episode aired Wednesday morning in another neighborhood in Illinois.

The Reed family is preparing to leave for the bus stop. The older girls decide to wear winter coats so that they can stay warm at recess. Mom decides to pull out winter coats for the little two also. They all don their coats and head outside. Jacob's coat is bulky and he is not used to walking in it. He takes two steps and falls on his rear. His mom picks him and gives him a reassuring hug. He squirms to get down. This time he manages to steady himself and takes off walking. Suddenly, a rock catches his attention. The rock is fascinating in his mind. He must have this rock. As he bends down to retrieve the rock, the bulky coat gets the better of him. He smashes into the driveway. His mom quickly picks him up, but the damage is done- one bloody nose and a goose egg on his forehead.

Sad! You have had some bad luck lately! If I lived closer I would come over and take care of you!

Well you might have lost your mind..but you haven't lost your humor! I think you have bad luck around Thanksgiving. Wasn't it a year ago when your washer broke and your oven all at the same time.
Hang in there.LOL

Sounds like you and your family don't have a good relationship with the pavement. I'm sorry about your new jeans that's a BIG bummer, but thanks for the laugh...Poor little Jacob looks like that HURT!

I feel for you with the jeans. Finding a good pair of jeans is the hardest thing, and then to have them ruined - awful. They wear out quickly enough as it is.

So does this mean you found your camera, or is it a new one?

Joan said...

oh my poor little baby! Not you, Jacob! He has gotten so big I hardly recognized him.

Terra said...

no, I meant to say "compliments of my phone", hence the poor quality. Still no sign of the camera

Kate said...

LOL! I'm sorry but that was so funny. Maybe start walking through the yard? And I'm so sad for little Jacob!
