Plastic Man

As we made our way home from The Y one evening, this was the conversation that sprang out of thin air from the back seat.  I use the word conversation because, in spite of the fact that you know as much about it as I do, there is clearly a significant portion missing.
"Remember, Ethan?  His butt slurped in." 
There immediately commenced great laughter and repetition of this sentence.  Never before have I experienced such a conflict of feelings and emotions.
  • Fascination - What on earth could this be about?
  • Excitement - What on earth could this be about?
  • Nausea - What on earth could this be about?
  • Sadness - Where did I go wrong?
  • Concern - Is it too late for the third boy?
  • Distress- What if I don't ask and wish I had when one of their teachers calls later?
  • Fear - What if I ask and they actually tell me?
