Dumped a Bowl of Cocoa Pebbles on my Computer

F#$% S#%$ G#$D#$*IT

It just happened 5 minutes ago; got it all over the floor, coffeetable, digital camera, and my computer.

The computer still works, if you can't tell.

What a waste of good cereal.

Ouch. That sucks.
The milk part of that mess is gonna start stink’n tomorrow, too.

If it makes you feel any better:
DJ called this morning bound from Austin to San Antonio in the 530F.
Seems she took what “appears to be a duck” through the lower left windscreen, and splattered it through the pedals all over her legs.

She didn’t care much for my laughter.

One day we were watching my #1 grandson when he was about 3. I was sitting at the breakfast table reading the paper. Suddenly, he picked up a large box of cheerios and dumped them on the floor. Mrs. W and I just looked at him and said nothing. Next he lays down in them and starts making snow angels in them.

We cracked up!

Then we looked at each other and said...

"You never would have let our kids do that!"

Then she simply swept them up after he got tired of playing in them!

Ahhhhh the joys of grandparenting!

I look forward to those days.....my daughter just spilled a half gallon of ridiculously expensive organic milk all over the kitchen floor this morning and I wasn't laughing.

Wait, you rank your grandkids? I hope that was birth order and not order of importance?

Oh man, Fruity Pebbles. I haven't had those in a long time. I think the "kids" need some!

That's funny....on the rare occasion we do go to the grocery store, I always put Lucky Charms in the cart and say they are for my daughter. It never works.

My daughters also LOVE a ridiculously complete Thomas the Tank wooden train set.
