THE THINGS THAT SPILLED ————— by Steve Nadis

There’s been a lot of spillage in our house of late and, accordingly, I’d like to announce a new feature at Call Me Snake called “The Things That Spilled.” This item will appear occasionally on this blog and, if demand is as high as I think it will be, it could become a daily feature. Yesterday was a “banner day,” as they say, so I’d like to start there since we’re not too far into Tuesday yet and I’m sure there’s a lot of good spillage yet to come.

Things That Spilled (August 22, 2005)

1. One trash bag filled with cat feces and kitty litter on the landing to our main (and only) entrance.

2. One small bottle of lemonade on the landing to our main (and only) entrance.

3. One glass of lemonade on the floor of our main (and only) kitchen.

4. One glass of milk on the floor of our main (and only) kitchen.

5. One glass of milk on the floor of our main (and only) kitchen.

6. One cup of water on the floor of our main (and only) kitchen.

7. One cup of lemonade on the floor of our main (and only) kitchen.

8. One cup of water on the floor of our upstairs bathroom.

9. One cup of water on the floor of the hallway leading to our upstairs bathroom.

10. One cup of water on the carpeted floor of our three-year-old’s bedroom.

Nothing else spilled until the next morning, thankfully.

    My wife and I, at restaurants, sit down and begin a countdown, ..3,2,1 and sure enough our 5 year old knocks over his drink. Yes, I suppose we could insist on the covered cup, but we enjoy the suspense.

    I agree, there is an element of excitement. Kind of like the moment before you fall off a cliff…

    Good thing you don’t have a dog. Their tails can clear a table in seconds.

    Thanks for the note and the warning. Maybe we’ll be experiencing that — rapid table-clearing — next.

    Have you thought about a CMS Spill-Cam?

    I will wear my galoshes the next time I come over.

    I don’t think galoshes will do it. To be safe, you need waders or duck-hunting boots.

    Wow! Another Cantabridgian. I’ve gotten several comments from those sorts of late, including several FOF (Friends of Forbes).

    I won’t take you back to the subject other than to point out that I thought that was the case–with respect to the FOF designation, that is…
