Things That Shouldn’t Be Covered in Soy Sauce
- The washing machine.
- The dryer.
- The inside of the dryer.
- Five pairs of shoes.
- A rug.
- The back door.
- Two piles of freshly sorted laundry, both lights and darks.
- A pair of boiled wool slippers. The slippers got it BAD. So bad.
- A newly opened box of 200 garbage bags.
- 10 feet of baseboard trim.
- A refrigerator.
- Shards of broken glass.
- A backpack.
- A laundry basket.
- A door mat.
- A broom and dustpan.
- The porch.
- Two very upset children who should have left for school five minutes ago. (One was upset because she was covered in soy sauce from the waist down, and one because I wouldn’t let him eat the soy sauce that was pooling around his feet.)
The moral of the story is: If you have a child whose love for soy sauce requires that you buy it in the extra large, economy sized bottle, don’t store it on the top shelf of the pantry. And if you come to visit me anytime in the next, oh, two to three years, you’ll know why my house smells like a bad teriyaki place.
Oh lordy! Nightmare! Why you??????? 😢
I feel (and one day may smell) your pain.
