The Sound of Silence

There is one sound that will strike fear into the hearts of mothers like no other, the sound of .... well, the sound of nothing really. I'm talking about silence and it is BAD news, because babies only get quiet when they are doing naughty, naughty things.

I was working on my doodle for Doodle Week and I realized beelzebebe was being awfully quiet there in the kitchen. Then I heard lip smacking. As in "gosh, the stuff I'm putting in my mouth right now is so delicious." Could have been rat poison, could have been batteries. What the hell was she eating? So I barreled around the corner and came upon this scene:



Mmmm, chocolate! One for you, forty for me ...






Oh, um, hi mom. Wow, this is awkward ...







WTF? Who dumped these chocolate chips all over the floor? I crawled in here and I was like, wow, I'd better pick these up before somebody slips. That could be dangerous!
