You might not exactly guess what the headline is so I will make a very short dirty story long. The kids have loved making smoothies with all the fruit we have in the freezer and I love that they are old enough to do it themselves. Saves me one more task from my never ending tutoring/waitress/cleaning lady/chauffeuring job. Well call me a nag but every time they use the blender I tell them make sure you hold on to the lid. You can probably see where this is heading now. Friday was a warm day and the sun was out. Cold frosty beers seem to be going down smooth and fast. Middle son was in the kitchen whipping up a frosty alcohol free blender drink. I was in a relaxed mood and didn't call out the required phrase, when I heard the "ahh mom I think I need some help in here" @#$%^%$### it was everywhere except on the ceiling. For a second I had the angry feeling but the look on his scared face just made me burst out laughing. We had a great chuckle while cleaning everything from the stove to the kettle to the toaster oven to the floor to the back splash to the........well you get my point. Sometimes as a parent we just make the right choice on how to handle a situation. I felt really good after how it all went down and I'm sure Kaikoa felt alot better about the incident.
8 more sleeps
Good for you mom!! I know it was a messy mess, but since you didn't lose it & scare him, it's all good, right? lol I can look back now at things that messed up & know I didn't handle them well - so I'll be sorry for my reactions/response for a long time. But your way was definitely much better!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, love your job description!!!
Good thing you had those one or eight beers, EH?
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO - I can so see his face......and I'm thinking a blender would make a nice gift for his birthday - he can practice in his own room ;).
ReplyDeleteImagine if it hadn't been alcoholfree - he sure would have been busted..........
I probably left out a few things as well.
ReplyDeletenightly total was 9 dead soldiers
ReplyDeletethen that would have been alcohol abuse and I would have licked the surfaces clean...
ReplyDeletealso he is using the new blender I got him for Xmas : )
New New - as in not yard sale new? What got into you
ReplyDeletedoes he get to make his own smoothy next time. do you think he will remember. we had a homem ade bottle of root berr explode in ourt kitchen one time. it was everywhere. when I though we had it cleaned up, we found traces of it still years later behind the fridge. its a good thing you can laugh so easily. i think I would have explained how to clean it up and left him there to do it. back to the beers for me.
