Close Call

Mommy Moments:

Q. climbs a chair and retrieves the fish food from the atop the entertainment center. She precedes to feed the fish. She thinks they are really hungry and need to grow big so she dumps the whole canister into the tank. Now the fish just need their bath after dinner. So she squirts some "Shout" in and now her chore is finished. She goes away very proud for this bit of helpfulness she has produced for mom and dad. She has second thoughts only after daddy comes in and finds her washing her own mouth in "Shout" and sees the one inch layer of fish food on the rock floor of the tank. Needless to say, daddy is very upset. And distraught.

Hurry! Call Poison control. Q. gets a piece of bread and some water--the bubbles eventually diminish. Mmmm...the tank water smells funny...OH my @*#...the algae eater is already unconcious and floating on his back...Get the fish out...QUICK. Where's a baggie? Now angelfish Gill is floating on his side...the horror of it! Should the gals leave this tramatic scene of eminent fish death? Uncle mentions that he never felt this affection for his fish and seems impressed. We prepare for the worst.

Somehow, by the grace of God, miraculously, our little friends make a full recovery after they are placed back in their newly cleaned, conditioned, and fortified-with-electrolyte water. A close call indeed.

During her nap Q. discovers she can reach the top drawer of Audi's clothes chest. Inside she finds a little tub of minty smelling jelly (Vicks Rub). She thinks this will be the perfect cure for her dry, frizzy hair that her mommy cursed her with from the beginning of her small life. Now that's some oil treatment! Oh! There's mom. She's not too happy with the way Q. smells. Maybe that's cuz mom only uses that minty jelly for when the gals are coughing. But Q.'s hair has become magnificently curly of late. Catch ya' later frizz head...

Okay one more:

Q. makes her daily tour around the house. This is the her private inventory of what has been mistakenly left out that mom and dad says is off limits. Today she finds mommy's make-up on the counter in mommy's bathroom. MMMmmm...mommy's dozing on the couch cuz the sun has just barely peaked over the horizon. A little lipliner on each cheek and some purple shadow there just beside it...definately need more lipliner and a little blush...oops the brush fell in the sink...oh well...Mommy's calling. Audi's up.

Q. put the lipliner everywhere except on her lips.
