Puke is NOT Pukka

Originally Published May 13, 2005

So the family has settled into a night of television watching Jamie Oliver's new live cooking show. (It's quite a good show by the way. You should watch it).

Melanie starts staring at the floor for 30 seconds or so.

Lynda asks.... "You're not going to puke are you?"
(Hmm.... what do you think happens next?).

On queue, Melanie vomits her chocolate milk on the rug. There's only one piece of carpet in the entire house. Lucky for us she chose to vomit on it (the rug in front of the television).

So a bucket of water and a bit of scrubbing later, we settle back in just to watch the end of the show.

Kids!

What smells of Sh*t?

It was Sunday night. The kids had gone to bed. So Lynda and I were lying in bed watching television.

Then I ask the question.... "What smells of Sh*t?"

--C E N S O R E D--

So then we spent the next half hour cleaning before going back to bed emotionally scarred by the experience.

Use your imagination for the censored bit. (Or better still don't).

Daddy will be upset with Ben!

I got home tonight to the sounds of Lynda saying "Daddy will be upset with Ben!". Hmmm I wondered. What is Lynda aluding to?

On the weekend, I repainted the doorway in the kitchen. (I had the enamel paint out because I have been painting the renovated rooms in the house).

Well it seems Ben took to the doorway with a screwdriver today and has managed to scrape the enamel paint off.

Apparently he was trying to "help" daddy.

What can you do? :-)

I'll just have to paint it again this weekend.
