I recently learned that putting a pile of Parmesan on a toddler’s tray then turning your back even briefly to wash a dish, wipe the counter, or open a piece of mail is basically asking for blizzard-like conditions in your kitchen.
In fact, it turns out the weather can change at the drop of a…plate.
For example, if you give a small child a cup of water without a lid, prepare for a Tsunami.
Bowl of soup? Flood.
Granola with milk plus high winds created by flailing arms: Hurricane.
A ramekin of coconut? Flurries.
Bowl of steamed broccoli spun round and round with tip of index finger? Tornado with trees flying.
Of course, spaghetti with red sauce will result in a (un)natural disaster too horrible to name.

How’s the weather in your kitchen? Is it, I dare ask, ever sunny? And if so, I can only imagine that has something to do with splattered eggs…

I hear ya… it is like Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs over here at the Moderate House!!
Thanks Youngest!!
ha! I kept wondering what “cloudy” would be…cottage cheese? 🙂 And I guess it can all be cleaned up…well, pretty much all of it! 🙂
LOL! Well, there is definite debris left from something, here at my house! Could be a tornado, I suppose…one that carries crackers….
Ah yes…cracker crumbs…another reason to bust out the leaf blower 🙂
So funny Joc! Margie n I laughed and laughed. We don’t know how you come up with these humorous postings. I guess Ian is a big help. Love to all of you from Door County.
Thanks so much Sherill! Yes, I have inspiration all around me…just finding the time to write is the challenge 🙂 Hope you are having fun!
Funny – Laughed in the office!
I am so glad! But you should really contain your mirth to appropriate environments.
