Shampoo Sandwich Wed June 11, 08

My parents took the kids for the afternoon while i suffered with a toothache and felt like a zombie from the pain killers. I really have to get those damn wisdom teeth out…

Anyway, my parents took the kids to Bunnings  as they had to pick up some bits and pieces. I was impressed at their bravery.

My last Bunnings attempt solo with the kids resulted in a 4lt tub of Osmocote fertilizer being opened and spread down one aisle. For those unfamiliar with Osmocote, its not just the stinky dirt variety of fertilizer. Its billions of minuscule balls of slow release fertilizer, the size of half a rice bubble.

So the Bunnings trip with my parents went without disaster, apart from the kids shouting “Hurry Up Grandpa!” at the top of their voices (egged on by my mother, no doubt!)

When they got home, some groceries were stacked on the kitchen bench while my dad set off to wall mount his new dustbuster. With my Mum and Alex asleep and Dad distracted with his tools, Nicholas set to work…

He dragged the bar stool around the breakfast bar and found a bottle of shampoo and half a loaf of sliced bread. He took both items to the coffee table and made a lovely Shampoo Sandwich!

My Dad caught him emptying the contents of the shampoo bottle all over the coffee table when the bread couldn’t contain anymore liquid. “I should have known he was up to something when i heard the bar stool being dragged around the kitchen,” said Dad.

See! Its not just me! It happens to the professional parents too!
