Parenthood

Emily and I have an ongoing disagreement over one particular household chore.  (Actually, we have several, but that's not relevant right now).  This particular disagreement is that after mopping a room, she will leave the mop water out and wait until she can do the next room.  This is no problem except that sometime it is there overnight. 

Yesterday morning, my lovely one year old daughter decided my cell phone needed to be cleaned.  She promptly threw it into the mop water at the end of the hall (left from the day before).  When I looked at the phone, water was pooled under the screen.  Obviously, the phone ceased to work.

I pulled it apart and put it in a bowl of uncooked rice.  I'd heard it would pull the moisture out of the phone.  This morning, I put the phone back together and it works fine.  I can't believe it worked.

Speaking of Claire, she's also developed a taste for crayons.  We've caught her eating a purple and a green crayon.  If you've never had that experience, it can make for some surprising diaper changes.


(In case you're interested, I will never really argue with Emily about mop water because I personally don't like to mop.)
