a word of advice.
If you happen to be a fellow human living in a home with small children,
I think it is my duty to share with you a bit of advice that experience has taught me.
Always look inside your cup before consuming said cup’s contents.
Recently I was drinking.
Enjoying my icy cold water.
Sipping, gulping, while I worked tirelessly in the kitchen.
Assuming what I saw out of my poor peripheral vision was an ice cube.
A creamy looking ice cube?
Pause.
Investigate more closely.
No.
No, it was not an ice cube in my glass.
Which would be perfectly normal.
Completely acceptable.
No.
It was
instead
a chunk of cheese.
And I have this kid to thank for it.
Piper Finn has made it her duty to protect the rest of the family from such a gross mishap in the future.
She now regularly announces, “Don’t drink cheese water.”
And she routinely asks, as her beverage is served to her, “Is this cheese water?”

EWWWW!!!!
My friend scooped up what she thought was chocolate sprinkles from her desk to put on top of her hot chocolate she was sipping, and after topping it off, realized they weren't sprinkles. But mouse poop.
I shudder to imagine consuming any of these things!!!

Um.
Had your friend recently eaten sprinkles while sitting at her desk?
Because I feel like you should be basically aware of the crumbs origination before you top your cocoa with them.
Oh, wait – did you just say "friend" because you didn't want us to know it was really you? 🙂

Oh, so funny!! We were dissecting owl pellets for science (you know the pellets they throw up that contacts small mouse bones and fur . . . yeah, those) and a child had put their pellet to soak in a nice, frosty glass of water. Yeah, you know the rest.

NO!
Tell me you did not actually imbibe any of that mess?
Either way – your story wins.
