I thought I'd motivate myself to do some housecleaning by cranking up the tunes. My sugar-free Jello (I am on my pre-op liquid diet). The plastic container I traditionally use sprouted a leak and began spraying boiling hot liquid jello everywhere.

Since Katy Perry's "Firework" was blaring I had been transported to a state of invincibility and it took me a few seconds to realize the bowl had the audacity to hemorrhage on a Super-hero like me. After salvaging about a cup of the liquid (will that stop up the kitchen drain?) I took an inventory of the damage.

Spurts of red dye #40 had catapulted a good six feet from the kitchen sink. The floor looked like a crime scene. The counter-top wouldn't come clean -- it seemed to be permanently stained.

By the time I tried to wipe the cabinetry, the jello had begun to gel. I don't know how b/c I had yet to add the cold Water. I guess the force of the wind cooled the spraying jello as it arched in mid-air? I also wiped fully formed jello from the inside of my glasses and sandals. Had I known making jello was a full contact sport I would have been more appropriately attired.

Only minutes before, I had totally bought into Katy Perry's proclamation. I WAS a "firework"... destined for greatness. Mid-song, I was transformed from a firework to a f___-up & I made the appropriate substitutions in the lyrics as a I sang the song and cleaned up the mess.

I hope the experience doesn't ruin the song for me. I LOVE that song. /P2P

Lol

I enjoyed your post thoroughly.Very cleverly written.

Trying not to laugh out loud at work! It's great that you can see the funny side of this and share it with us. With an attitude like that you will be a rip-roaring success with the band.:star:

Trying not to laugh out loud at work!

I had the same reaction! I'm sitting in my office and as I read the story it became harder and harder not to burst out laughing. That's a great story, thanks for sharing!

I miss you P2P I hope you are doing good!!!!
