Hypothetically Speaking, If You Ever Loose A Bottle of Chocolate Syrup

This is a short note to myself, sent to yesterday. Hypothetically speaking, of course, because surely this would never happen to anyone, right? Everyone knows I am a bit flighty, and I don't concern myself too much with material reality, especially as it relates to kitcheny/cleaning things. Hypothetically, if you are ever keeping another child in your house, and he requests chocolate milk twice, the second time, if you can't find the chocolate syrup, go ahead and look around for it. If it is not in the fridge, and not in the cabinet, and not on the countertops, go ahead and take some time to look around to see where it could have possibly gone. Note to self: it did not disappear, a chocolate syrup elf did not come and consume it all, and your three year old daugther did not perform a David Blaine worthy disappearing act. It probably fell between the fridge and the countertop, and it is slowly leaking all over your kitchen floor, so that when you return from Ikea exhausted, it has likely coated a large portion of your kitchen. You may have to slip and slide with your not quite five year old as you clean it up. Soap and water works nicely. But, if you'd like to save some time, when you loose the syrup bottle go ahead and try to find it. It will be well worth your time.

i thought this was going to be a story about Jack and Molly sneaking the syrup into their room and drinking it all! Still funny though!
