Scene:
Airplane en route home.
Window seat occupied by toddler strapped into car seat.
Middle seat occupied by Momma.
Aisle seat occupied by sleeping infant angel.
Action:
'E, would you like some cranberry juice?'
Momma pours juice from can into ice-filled clear plastic cup.
Places can and juice-filled cup on tray in front of toddler.
'Chuck' episode begins playing on the overhead screens.
Momma plugs in noise-canceling headphones to catch the audio, hears only beeping, frantically starts changing channels.
Suddenly remembers to check on toddler.
Whips head around to find
toddler holding can upside down
over ice-, juice-filled cup,
can is practically empty now,
juice running over the cup's edge,
spilling all over tray,
finally resting in toddler's lap.
'E, i think the cup is full now. Would you like to take a sip.'
Momma muttering under her breath,
'At least i packed extra pjs and a waterproof lap pad.'
Refection:
I guess she's developed the fine motor skill of pouring.
Finale:
$1.50 laundry load

ReplyDeleteI've totally forgotten about the low ceilings on airplanes and have crashed both kids' heads onto said low ceiling while trying to lift them up and down to play with them.
