This month's sort-of-unofficial theme is "Things that will gross out my dear readers"

I've been a bit hesitant to post anything after the rat story, because, really, how do you follow a rat story? Well, this morning, my daughter provided me with some good blog fodder in keeping with our theme of "Gross."

The Princess brings me an empty little toy teacup and says, "Here, Mommy, I made this for you. Drink it!"

I pretend to drink the pretend whatever-it-is and exclaim, "Oh, this is yummy! What is it?"

I fully expected her to say "tea" or "Kool-Aid" or some such beverage.

Oh, no, not this time.

"It's poop soup!" was her reply.

I believe I'd like some imaginary Listerine now, thank you.
