It's not that hard to remember because it's been happening all my adult life, the last time being a few weeks ago. Honestly, I've gone through so many glasses it isn't funny.<br /><br />And your footnote on typing "scar" was priceless!

Blake knocked over his glass & spilled his milk. I wiped it up & poured him some more. He knocked over his glass again, & again I wiped it up & poured him more. I warned him not to do it again or he would be sorry. I watched him out of the corner of my eye as he deliberately knocked it over one more time. I picked up the gallon milk bottle (which had probably a quart or so left in it) & emptied it on his head! Childish, I know, but it made a beautiful waterfall—or, I guess, a milkfall. He didn’t even cry—he just sat there with his little mouth hanging open in amazement as the milk cascaded over his head. As far as I know, none of our kids ever deliberately knocked over their milk again. Not while I was in the room, anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-76222769004657000872015-05-25T11:05:51.969-04:002015-05-25T11:05:51.969-04:00Yikes, what trauma.

You'd have to walk to the kitchen and drink standing over the sink. Sounds harsh, but better than washing yet another tablecloth. <br />Our table drinks were always water anyway.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-41444176253157605082015-05-25T01:23:20.342-04:002015-05-25T01:23:20.342-04:00I could never pour a glass of milk without spillin...I could never pour a glass of milk without spilling way into my teens.
