55 Flash Fiction Friday: Mom Proof Kitchen

Posted on by

Clink. GODDAMNIT! Several days after baby proofing the kitchen and I still open the lower cupboards without remembering unhook the new plastic latch on the inside. “Don’t worry”, Kurt said mocking me after hearing the ‘clink’ of my latest attempt, “You’re smart. You’ll figure it out after three tries or less.” He’s such an ASS!

  2. Is that what all this “yahtzee” stuff is about? I figured it had something to do with the 5′s in 55… but there weren’t enough of them. I digress.

    Erica, next time just throw your stole at him. That’ll fix his ass. Better yet, super glue a childproof cap shut on something only he’d use and then sit back and watch the fun.

    Ciara, men aren’t so much born with an ass gene as they’re just emotional retards until they turn about 40. (Shut up… that’s what I tell myself to keep from feeling bad about being… erm… “over 40″.)

  4. *clink* SHHHHHT! *glares at the baby* This is your fault! *clink* DAMMIT!

    That was a recurring scene a few years ago when my parents’ kitchen was baby-proofed for when my niece would visit. I lived your 55, Erica. Well, except for the ass part… but it’s not too late. I could meet someone and experience that yet. Maybe.

  6. Tell THEM to change role for once! That will teach them. I bet they will not be able to handle a baby for a week!

    Wow! Erica, that is YOU in that picture? You are so beautiful !

    Now I know where the adorable baby got her beauty from! That photo of hers in the cold bath post is gorgeous!

  7. Hey!!!

    I loved this 55 Erica, it is such a part of everyday life…
    And Mona is right, you are beautiful!
    Smile, loving Mom, talented writer…very beautiful indeed!!
    Have a Great Week-End….Galen

  9. You’re doing much better than me. I haven’t even childproofed the majority of my cabinets. Instead, I just run around after my kids yelling “No!” all day long.

  10. LOL I remember those days, well don’t quite remember them as they were several years ago. I enjoyed your 55, brought a smile to my face.

    Have a great weekend.

  14. ciara – congratulations on popping the cherry on this 55. hehehe ;)

    Mojo – Yeah, I didn’t know about the “yahtzee” stuff either. My stole was declawed, so he’s pretty much useless as a weapon except maybe against spiders.

    smarmoofus – I’ll help you find one that isn’t an ass (if such a thing exists)

  16. mona – Thank you, thank you ;) Oh and he’ll get his turn soon. It won’t be for a week, but I’ll be going on a trip and leave him to tend to the baby for three days. ;)

  17. G-Man – Thank you so much G ;)

    signgurl – *ppsstt* They’re still asses, just OLDER asses. :P *snicker*

    christy – We don’t have a very big kitchen so it was only a ten minute job to secure the lower cabinets from *me* :P

    Missy – Thank you Missy :)

  18. Julie G – Thank you and yes the layout for the theme was done in PhotoShop. The author provides the original Photoshop file and I added my own pictures to it. Nope we haven’t baby-proofed the toilet. I just close the doors to the bathrooms because she does like to play in the wastebasket.

  19. JaniceNW – hahaha yep, that’s Kurt, AGGRAVATING! :P The drool monster is doing ok. She has four teeth. :) She’s more of a snot monster right now though. She’s sick, AGAIN! :(
