Locker Jokes

A week ago Wednesday I was sitting at my desk at work when I heard the familiar tone that alerts me that I have a new text message. I scooped my phone up and read that Chuck's Grandpa Hardin was being rushed to the hospital via ambulance on suspicious that he had suffered a stroke. Later it was determined that he had not a had a stroke, but was bleeding from the brain due to a fall the day before. Pawpaw Hardin was transported from the hospital in Blytheville to the Baptist East in Memphis. To make a long story short Pawpaw Hardin underwent two surgeries to stop the bleeding. He was released from the hospital this evening and to the best of my knowledge is resting comfortably at home. (We're headed to Blytheville tomorrow to see pawpaw.) Anyhow, I tell you all that to set the scene for the picture that follows.
Chuck, Tate and I met Chuck's parents in the ICU waiting room the following morning. It didn't take Tate long to discover a set of lockers tucked away near the restrooms in the waiting room. My little guy was intrigued by the lockers. He wanted to know how they worked. He even got in one of the lockers. It reminded me of that on Nickoleodon (sp?) when I was a kid... You Can't DO That On Television. Remember the part of the show where the kids hid in lockers and pop out to tell jokes. Maybe Tate could be Alister?
Again let me apologize for the quality of this photo. It's a cell phone picture.
