Spilled Milk

On occasion, you might find us being less than our usual mature selves at home :). One night last week, when we were eating supper, Martin thought it might be fun to balance a jug of milk on his head. Please note, that it was a full jug of milk - only one glass had been poured from it yet.
Of course, me, thinking about the possible mess, thought maybe this wasn't such a good idea - and so I told him as much. Martin didn't seem to think it was a problem - the only thing he wanted at that point was "a flat head" so that it would be easier to balance!
When he finally decided to give up on the whole balancing thing - he thought it would be fun to scare me into thinking he dropped the jug of milk. The only problem is, he actually did drop it! At first, I thought for sure it would have split open - but lucky for him - the lid only came off, and so not too much milk was spilled :). (Note the jug of milk in the picture.)
He was feeling just a little foolish at the end of this - and so rushed to get something to clean it up with. I decided that having a picture or two of him cleaning up his mess would be a good way to capture this memory! No use in crying over spilled milk, right?

hilarious. Yeah, we have a few moments like that in our house too. They usually have to do with syringes & water. Those 30ml syringes make a good water gun:)
