How To: Get a sticky kitchen floor


  1. Have a head cold
  2. Decide to go food shopping for essentials
  3. While at the food shop decide to buy a ready cooked chicken and salads for dinner (as it would be easier to put together and you don't have to really "cook" as such)
  4. Go past the drinks aisle and see Chi (The Drink that is so smart, it knows its own name)
  5. Decide to get it as it's the go-to drink for when your sick (besides, it used to be the drink Nana gave you as a little girl when you were sick)
  6. Grab a few more essentials
  7. Go to the aisle that has super glue (Hubby wants some)
  8. Find several different shapes and sizes of "super glue" (decide to let hubby come back to get it as you don't want to get the wrong one - must be like the equivalent of sending him out to buy "sanity" pads)
  9. Finish shopping and go to the check out
  10. Find that you are over budget 
  11. Decide to just go with it as you don't have the energy to think about what to put back
  12. Get home and put shopping away
  13. Decide to have some Chi - Toddler wants some too
  14. Open bottle while asking Toddler to get their cup (not paying attention to what you are doing)
  15. Chi fizzes out of the top of the bottle and over hands
  16. Take a while to realise what is happening
  17. Click to the fact that Chi is spraying out of the bottle
  18. Instead of just closing the top again try to take it over to the kitchen sink
  19. Slip on the already spilled Chi
  20. Drop the Chi bottle
  21. Have the Chi bottle spin round and round with you slipping and sliding to try to catch it
  22. All this time Toddler is laughing and giggling
  23. Finally pick the bottle up and dump it in the kitchen sink (BIG mistake)
  24. Grab the bottle and close the top (WHY didn't I just do this in the first place?!)
  25. Stand there for a moment to catch your breath
  26. Toddler says "Ooooh! Mess!"
  27. Sigh and say "Yes, Mess. That was pretty fun wasn't it bud?" 
  28. Look at paper towels
  29. Decide not to use them as it would waste the entire roll (one bottle of drink = one or more rolls of paper towels)
  30. Grab a few tea towels and start mopping up with Toddlers help
  31. Remember that you need something wet to clean it up
  32. Wet a tea towel and do a quick go over of the kitchen floor, cupboards and bench tops 
  33. Pour self and Toddler a drink each out of the little remaining Chi
  34. Sit down with Toddler for a cuddle and decide to mop the kitchen floor when they are down in bed for the night.
