Black pepper—definition: something you don’t want your child playing in as though it’s sand.
We’re kinda living out of boxes for the moment. And well, they’re on the floor (because they don’t belong on the kitchen table) and within baby’s eye level and hand reach. Wouldn’t you know that she likes to reach in and grab things from these boxes. Today’s prize was the bottle of black pepper. I dunno how she got into it, and some got on the living room floor.
We were all watching the big reveal on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and I see something dark & grainy on the floor. Jamayia was having a grand time, rubbing her hands through this “dirt”. Excpet that dirt doesn’t just manifest from thin air. So, after a lightning round of the What’s-On-The-Floor-And-How-Did-It-Get-There game, I could smell it—black pepper. Ahhhh! We did an immediate strip down and proceeded to dunk her in the tub. Out came the broom, followed by the Swiffer.
And a good time was had by all.
