“Kids make you insane.” Truer words were never spoken.
“Normal people can drink out of cups, but we can’t. If we have a glass of some beverage, and we leave that beverage unattended for even fifteen seconds, then that beverage will end up spilled on the couch, the carpet, the dog, or possibly the ceiling. The fact that we have cats plays in here, too, because our cats cannot abide an upright glass. So instead we drink out of bottles with lids, all the time, until the kids are asleep.”

Riddle from the Middle 
So true! When my son was younger, I hated getting him something to drink while we were in the car. Every time he was done, he would just turn the cup upsidown and spill everything on the floor. If he had a bottle, he would unscrew it and dump it on the floor as well. I can’t tell you how many car accidents I almost got in seeing him about to dump his drink and my reaching back and yelling, no, no, NO, MIKE NO!!! It’s funny when I look back on it now…not so much at the time.
Great entry!

Honestly, there must be a guardian angel dedicated to driving parents or surely we would have all run off the road over and over again. 🙂

They do make you insane – and yet give you a wonderful reason to live 🙂

I was saying this last night and feel your pain. We have been drinking out of covered cups with straws for the past 3 years. It seems to be getting better but unless i want to have a mop attached to me permanently its a drinking cup with straw or one with a lid. They are getting so smart now that they figure out that they can still cause a spill with the straw so we stay away from that too. Good luck. 🙂
