September 28

Brady got a little too squashy with his squishy dumpling this evening.

I'd repeatedly warned him over the past few weeks that I thought he was squeezing it a bit too hard, and tonight my suspicion was validated as his dumpling exploded, propelling slime and --because we're just that brand of fortunate-- glitter all over the chair he was sitting in at the time. (If you look closely, you can see some of the glitter on his arm.)

Adam almost immediately began researching new furniture options (because glitter) as Brady frenetically scrubbed at the affected cushions, to very little avail. (And then he went to take a shower because, well, yuck.)

It was a vaguely funny, strange couple of minutes. But it was also a good reminder that sometimes, glitter bombs go off in our lives. Although they may upset our proverbial apple carts, it helps if we can approach them with good humor, because God can always orchestrate positive outcomes from not-so-positive situations.
