Noodle Thoughts - Digging To China

7/17/2012

I'm sitting here writing this post with a bag of ice on my toosh and dipping my hand in ice water in between sentences.  I guess you could say I'm pretty dedicated to this blog.
Well, let me tell you how I got myself into this predicament of sorts. 
Picture
My son decided we needed to dig a hole to China. "Great idea!"  I enthusiastically replied as I found two shovels and the perfect spot to dig.  I suggested we dig next to our side porch because no matter what I do, nothing ever grows there. "We're going on an adventure!  We're digging ourselves out of New York and into China!"  I cheered.  Sometimes, we're not sure who the real kid is here.  Anyway, my son wasn't listening.  My little man was focused.  Determined.  In his head, China was just another dig away and I was distracting him with my babble.  "Mama!"  He excitedly shouted as a new idea formulated in his head.  "I think we'll have to build a tunnel so we can slide DOWN to China!"

Don't ask me how he was coming up with any of this, but I was loving every minute.  But as we dug our little hearts out, anticipating a new venture,
the fun abruptly ended. All of a sudden, as I leaned over my shovel, I felt a sharp zing on my toosh.  "Ouch!"  I squealed.  I quickly dropped the shovel and grabbed my behind.  Then, another painful zing on my hand.  I screamed, "I've been bitten!"  My poor son didn't know what to do. He watched as I ran like a chicken with my head cut off with one hand on my buns and the other swatting the air.

When I finally was able to get my son and myself inside the house, he asked, "Who bit you Mama!?"  He looked out the window searching for a bear, a snake, maybe even a dinosaur.  But there was nothing.  "Sorry.  I wasn't making much sense.  I got stung by a bee hun,"  I replied.  "Oh."  He said a little disappointed.   


No bear, no snake and no dinosaur was lurking in our backyard today.  Just a nasty, grumpy old bee who did not want us going to China.

    Welcome to the Noodles On The Wall Blog, a place where I share the trials and tribulations of a creative noodle maker. (That's me!) My life is full of noodles and I've learned it takes a dash of inspiration and a pinch of creativity to throw them up on the wall to see if they stick. Hope you stick around!
