Fun fun fun! Sweet and Red, cherry flavored.

Not having enough fun in your life? I can help.
You will need:
1 Costco commercial size Maraschino Cherry jar, opened with lid on but not securely fastened. Place on upper shelf in very back of your refrigerator.

Plastic bags galore of assorted vegetables, and as many jars and containers as you can stuff in all the shelves below.

Bread if you have it on the bottom shelf, preferably a little open.

Ice cream for said Maraschino cherries.

Toothbrush.

Now make sure that you have a houseful of guests, and smallish helpers to find the almost opened large, somewhat slippery, jar of maraschino cherries out of the very back of the refrigerator. Hopefully all will work out for you and you will have it tipped over, lid falling off, juices glugging out and the small helpers looking on in amazement as your refrigerator and all it's contents turn bright red and cherry flavored. It is a thrill to watch!

For more fun let some of the juices that are hardest to reach sit for a week. Wow, now that is another adventure of reaching beyond, climbing the highest peak and so on. A tremendous feeling of well done will wash over you when you realise that hardened sticky red stuff is all scrubbed out of every corner with the toothbrush.

I am off to Costco right now to get all my replacements....fun usually does have a price! Have a great day!

I had the same scenario last week, only with a gallon jug of barbeque sauce from Sams. It was in the back of the top shelf, as I got it out, it fell and broke the bottom partially off and decorated the inside of the frig, underneath the frig, the floor, the rugs, the cupboards across the room. Luckily, I did not have company and Grpa G graciously helped me clean and clean until it was gone!

Well written...but it still doesn't sound like fun to me! Wade, Anreaa and the boys are here for the weekend. This afternoon Brett got into a jar of Carmex...a cold sore salve...and decided it would be good to spread it over his neck and back. Fortunately he didn't eat it...or not much anyway..but it was also a little messy.

Does spilling lots of different coffee drinks in the middle of a rush at work count? At least it isn't my own kitchen!! And coffee smells good, but it can make a very sticky mess when loaded with syrup!

Every mom has had this or similar happen and it is good to know we aren't alone. Thanks for the laugh and your humor. If we keep smiling with the growling it makes it all fun. Thanks, Kathy WY
