There he was, my dear husband, in the kitchen getting ready to reheat some leftovers.  Suddenly, CRASH-BANG-BOOM!!!  I lept from the couch to see if he needed some assistance.  The scene was hilarious:  Dave had dropped some cookie sheets that were being stored in the oven (he claims they were top heavy),  Will was standing next to me near the entrance to the kitchen, in the distance were two broken eggs and an open refrigerator.

When the Baby is Sick Everyone Gets Grossed Out “Poor little boo bear has a cold. It’s official, the snot I sucked is a lovely shade of green.  We had a hard night – I suppose if I couldn’t breathe when I tried to eat it would piss me off too.
