Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day (late) to all the mothers out there! I tried to do something nice for my Mom on Sunday, but ironically she tried to hurt me twice! Granted, I'll admit both times were an accident though. Let me explain.

When my mom is cooking, I love to "het" (that means help in my mad speaking skills). I help by bringing my step ladder that says my name into the kitchen and stand next to Mom. On Sunday morning, she was making a large b'fast, including my favorite - PANCAKES! Gramps was in town, and he loves his pancakes really thin,really big, and with a lot of oil on the skillet so the edges get crispy. I was standing there next to Mom, and she flipped one of the large pancakes... Well, she didn't get the landing quite right....and pancake batter went flying for ten feet!! And part of it hit my neck!! YYYEEEEEOOOOOWWWCCCHHH!!! That was hot. But Mom felt really bad and washed it off of me immediately.

Then after it got dark, I begged Mom to paint my toenails and fingernails. She aggreed, because I think she wanted to paint hers as well. So she carried me into the bathroom, and stood me up on the vanity. Then she opened up the mirror and reached up to the top shelf to grab the tiny glass bottles. She was debating which color to use....when her chubby fingers bumbed one of the jars! Oh no!! The tiny bottle flew down to the tile countertop, bounced up to the backsplash, then bounced off my legs! And with each bounce - tiny shards of glass and red smelly liquid splashed everywhere!! Of course, Mom freaked out. Since I was barefoot, she told me not to move. There was glass and red blood-like liquid all over me, the wall and the vanity.... Dad came in and helped clean up. First they picked up all the little glass pieces, then they had to use this purple stuff dabbed on cotton balls to get the polish off me....and boy oh boy did that stuff stink! I kept saying, "boo boo" since it looked like blood. After they got me cleaned up, Mom spent almost 20 minutes trying to get it off the tile and the wall. Next time you come to my house, I think you'll still see some red in the grout! That is hard to remove! And the purple smelly stuff took the paint off the wall! So mom said she'll have to repaint that portion of the wall....

What a Mother's Day!
