(Btw this is part 194....)

Don't read if you still think I'm a cool person.

So for the Eclipse today, my family and I drove over to our cousins house (20 min away) to view it- because they didn't have the proper viewing gear. We shared our. (Aren't we just SO sweet ;) lol jk)

Well, my brother got a lawn chair out of the back of our car for us to sit on.
But apparently the extra car battery sitting in the back of our car had leaked acid onto the chair and we all sat on it.... including my dress-wearing 3 year old cousin. Her BARE legs touched the acid covered seat.

Thankfully everyone else was wearing pants. This happened at 9am this morning. We go back and all did our own things. At about 1 am I was walking down the hallway and my (9 yr old) brother stopped me and told me I had ripped my pants.

I looked at my pants and they had huge rips all across the butt of the jeans. I for one was mortified because i didn't know where they came from, and I'd been doing a ton of stuff today so I couldn't really narrow down where the rips came from. Self mortification also came from the gaping holes in my pants showing off my underwear....yeah....

I ended up changing into a new pair of pants and eventually shrugging it off.

A hour or two later and my 9yr old bro had the same thing happen to him...

He changed as well but we started looking for any sharp objects around the house- but found none.

Eventually at 9pm my 16yr old bro found that I giant hole had just appeared in his shirt right on his belly button. We told him what happened to us and then we were all just so confused.

My parents had been gone since 10am, and they finally got back and yelled at us for ruining our clothes till we had a chance to explain that we didn't know what the Frick was going on.

My 18 yr old bro finally woke up from his nap at 10:30pm (he fell asleep at 10:30am) HE LITERALLY HAD BEEN SLEEPING FOR 12 hours STRAIGHT. Whatever, that's not a new thing.

He walks into the living room where we're all watching tv and the entire butt on his jeans was missing and he hadn't even noticed. (He'd been the one to set up the acid covered chair and sit on it the longest.

Since he hadn't done anything all day, it wasn't that hard to find out what had happened.

We all threw out our old clothes that we figured still had acid on them, threw out the chair and cleaned our sheets. (Cause my 18yr old bro had been sleeping)

We thought everything was good until I realized something.

My little baby cousin had sat in the chair too....

And she's been wearing a dress.

In a panic we called her parents and explained the situation. It was a pure miracle that they'd gone swimming RIGHT before the eclipse and had yet to take showers to wash off the chlorine (is that how you spell it???).

My baby cousin had gotten a bath right after we left after the eclipse and thank goodness she was okay.

It all turned out good, but yet again- id been walking around all day with holes in my pants.

Hmph.
