Red Cup... White Lid

So folks, what's it been?? Two weeks since we last rondeavouxed? I think a lot has gone on, a lot of little things that add up to one big thing we call life. Mixed in with a bit of toddler up at night syndrome. If only I could find the cure. That poor little man has the most tender stomach and the heartiest appetite for foods with a bit of BAM as Emril would like to refer to it as. I think I should investigate as to what age tums are an appropriate item.

I have also been enveloped in a game Mr. T started. I have named the two week adventure "Red Cup...White Lid". So in lieu of Mr. T's tender tummy and gas issues I have moved on from the traditional "leakproof" sippy cups (which were causing gas) to a tupperware spout type lid. Let it be clear these are a spout or more of a learning guide rather than a "sippy". You can tip the cup and contents swoosh out in a rapid manner.

Rules of the game Red Cup...White Lid are:

RULE 1:
Make sure Mama is engrossed in a task of some sort. Good examples would be say a)phone call from the bank b)phone call from old friend c)policeman on doorstep d) cleaning up poop of somekind e)mixing ground beef for burgers f) burning substance in the oven.

RULE 2:
Ask incessantly for a gass of moak or duce bucks. Translation: glass of milk or a juice box.

RULE 3:
When previous mentioned Mama hands you the liquid in the Red Cup with the White Lid... run, run like mad.

RULE 4:
Drink a large percentage of substance and proceed to hid the Red Cup with the White Lid somewhere that will take before mentioned Mama a good two weeks to find.

In the previously mentioned case of this game, the substance was milk and I had retired to the fact that I would one day be led to the Red Cup...White Lid by its mere stench. I tell you I looked in the oddest of places and checked the obvious locals more than 10 times. However in the quest for Red Cup...White Lid I did find a French fry in the bottom of one of the toy buckets. I guess that was a different game I forgot to play my half of.

But once again Mother with the eyes in the back of her head is tipped off somehow and defeats Mr. T in the battle of Red Cup....White Lid. I found it ever so gently perched in the depths of the pantry gingerly sitting on the edge of a reachable shelf, tipped and leaning against the wall. One massive bang would have toppled it down spilling all contents. Thankfully in this series of the game the contents were minimal as Mr. T had been thirsty and what was left in the cup was revolting, but easily cleaned with vinegar.

Big Daddy and I have discussed the rules of the game and figure that Joseph and Mr. T laid in bed together and night giggling at our confuzzlement as to the location of Red Cup...White Lid.

I however, don't recall if Big Daddy laughed so much when I ran upstairs near the hour of midnight shaking the Red Cup...White Lid in his face hollering "I found you SUCKA!!! The Mama always wins!!!"
