Murphy101 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 So after carting kids to and from band all day long, I toss them outside to play so I can reward myself with a bowl of a preciously hoarded away dose of Cocoa Pebbles for a late lunch and come in here to goof on the computer for a few. Didn't make it half way through the bowl or log into the net before a son comes running to show me the huge salamander he caught. By the tail. That broke off in the salamander's desperate flee for it's life. Of course the salamander is still desperately trying to get away. And prmptly shoots out of my son's hands and lands right in my bowl of Cocoa Pebbles, splashing cocoa milk all over my keyboard. Funny? Maybe. But I'm too busy mourning my Cocoa Pebbles.

Marie in Oh Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 had I been drinking something. . . it would have spewd from my mouth. That is funny. Very much so. I am glad that it wasn't dead in the box. . . that's what I thought when I read your post. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I am sorry. That is sad. OTOH, you may have created a new saying. You've heard the old question "who pee'd in your wheeties this morning?" when someone gets a bit shirty? Well,now you can ask "who dropped the salamander in your cocoa puffs?"

MamaT Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 My guilty pleasure is cocoa puffs, not pebbles, but I feel your pain. Once when my oldest was about 6, I realized about halfway through lunch that he was wearing a lizard for an earring. He had let it bite his earlobe and it was just hanging there while he ate. :001_smile: I prefer not to lunch with lizards or have them in my food.

Jennifer in MI Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Okay. I'm sorry, but I HAVE to laugh!!!!!! I hope you caught the salamander and got him out of your house!!! Note: Send dh out after kids are in bed to get more junk food . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
