My daughter dragged her dead grandma up the stairs today

My kids hung out with Autumn's parents last night. The kids were asleep when they got home, so I carried them up to bed and left the bag of things they brought from the grandparents by the steps downstairs.

This morning Hannah woke me up to tell me that grandpa gave me a present last night and she wanted to go get it. Being half asleep still I replied with a mumbled, "Sure, pumpkin."

The next thing I remember is hearing thumping coming up the stairs and my daughter making grunts. By time I came around Hannah was back at my bedside and had thrown something heavy in my lap.

Yep, it was Autumn's dead mom.

Apparently my father-in law and his wife were cleaning out their house and thought that the kids should have the ashes of their mother, so he sent them home with my daughter. I'm just glad the urn didn't break when she was dragging it up the stairs. Cleaning that up before Autumn woke up would've been a little more than I'd had in mind for my Saturday morning.

Ah, that is a pretty funny story that I'm sure you have lots of opportunity to use! Think of the surprise and confusion it would have been to hannah herself!
