the great bottle hunt

the boys love to drink milk. they gulp down 2 gallons every 5 days. and since mobile mucus still drinks from his bottle, i am always on the hunt for the empty ones. usually he leaves them on his bed or in the vicinity of. sometimes, he places them on a table depending on which room he is in. but this morning, it wasn't in any of the usual places. 


when i ask him where's your bottle? 
he answers all done
where did you put it? 
chitchen, he says. so i look in the kitchen. nowhere to be found. 
monkey boy chimes in with mommy, it's in the fridge. 
i scratch my head and think i don't remember putting it in the fridge, maybe i did?
i look in and it's not in there. good, i'm not completely senile.
i ask again where is your bottle?
mommy, it's in the fridge. come here, lemme show you. 
as monkey boy pulls my hand towards their play kitchen.
oh...



 aha! there it is!

and mucus comes running in...mine!
