I was so tired the week that I wrote My Long Week that I left off the best story. I wouldn't have even remembered it but I told it to someone at work and he reminded me.
Again, as with the original story, if you disgust easy, don't read this one. If you want a hint, just look at the Google Adsense ads I have on the site now. :)
It was Thursday morning. Elisabeth (our 2 year old) was up at 6 am, maybe earlier, it's all a little fuzzy. Since I knew that Debra and Hannah had been up very late (I went to bed at 2 am and they were still going strong), I took Elisabeth downstairs to keep her quiet. I gave her some food, a bottle of milk and turned on one of the kid's channels (Disney maybe?). I laid down on the sofa with Elisabeth. As I drifted off, she was leaning against me, eating, drinking and watching The Wiggles... or something. :) It was a very nice way to fall asleep.
Sometime closer to 8 am Hannah (our 7 year old) comes downstairs. She wakes me up with the question "Do you know what Elisabeth is doing?"
Without putting on my glasses, I peer across the room. "She's watching TV" I reply.
"No" says my oldest daughter. "She's playing in cat throw-up."
As I sat up, shook off the sleep, I put on my glasses as my youngest daughter turned to smile at me. Her hands and sleeves were quite brown. She held up a vile pile of brown... stuff.
And with a beaming smile she says "Daddy look! PLAYDOH!"
