Food

My daughter is asleep and my wife just went to bed. I decide to get me a fresh soda and some chips before playing video games (Fable).

I got my bag of chips and soda and head to the Family room. I start my game up and remove the chip clip from the bag and set open so I can grab a little bit a time. I’m sitting in the middle of the couch with the chips to my right.

I’ve been playing for about ten minutes and the game is loading a level, I decide to grab me a small amount of chips while I’m waiting as I had been doing for the past ten minutes. Reach in bag, grab chips, insert into mouth normally this would not be a problem.

But when I chewed the first bite all was normal, the second bite however was one of those times in your life when you have a multiple thoughts, ideas or fears all at the same time in roughly less than a tenth of a second.

As I bit down on the chips my teeth pressed against something that was obviously not a chip, but it was squishy, round and about the size of nickel. I stopped short of bursting or penetrating what ever this foreign object was.

At this exact moment I had many thoughts but the one that made me open my mouth and spit out all of it’s contents onto the right side of the couch was the thought of rodent organs.

As I set there thinking “Did I get it all out” and looking at what was just spewed from my mouth I chuckle. Yes, I chuckle, why you ask, what lie on my couch between a mangle mess of chips is none other than one of my daughter’s gummy bears.

She had been eating gummy bears and chips the day before and must have dropped one in the bag.

What did I learn from this, don’t eat after children.
