Have You Ever Done This?

Have you ever been hard boiling eggs because you were going to make tuna salad for lunch and then you got distracted because your mother-in-law came over to walk to the park with your son because it's such a beautiful day out and she wanted the exercise? And then you got to showing her the pictures from the trip you took to the zoo that weekend and she got to showing you the place on the Internet that she said you guys should take together as an overnight trip and you totally forgot that you were hard boiling eggs for the tuna salad you were going to make for lunch? And then you started to smell something? So, you go downstairs to the kitchen to find that all the water had boiled out of the little pot that you were hard boiling eggs in for the the tuna salad you were going to make for lunch? Not only did you find that all of the water had boiled out of the little pot - but the eggs had exploded all over your kitchen? You didn't even know that eggs could explode all over your kitchen. You were very thankful that the kitchen didn't catch on fire and you didn't accidentally burn the house down. Has that ever happened to you? No? Me neither. BUT...if it did...it would probably look something like this.

Not that I did do this. These pictures are strictly a simulation for blogging purposes.

The eggs could possibly be blown 2 feet away on the counter next to the dishes waiting to be washed - if you have ever done this. Not that I did this or anything.

The eggs could also possibly be blown up onto the "what in the world is this little nook above the stove for" shelfy thing - if you have ever done this. I wouldn't know anything about it, though - I'm just sayin'.

And maaaybe, just maybe you'd find that some of the eggs had exploded aaaalll the way up to the top of the top shelf in your cabinets because you had opened the door to get something out of it just before you were distracted and didn't shut it back. Then you realized that you had found splattered egg about 4 feet up the wall. That would be really weird if that ever happened to you. Not that I would know anything about it - at all.

I know that my cabinets need to painted. Very badly. Don't judge. It's on the "To Do" list. Remember, these pictures are strictly simulated for you ('cause I would NEVER do something so harebrained myself). I was just wondering if anything like that has ever happened to you.

And by the way - if you are ever hard boiling eggs in a little saucepan on the stove because you want to make tuna salad for lunch - please, by all means, set a timer or something. Whatever you do, don't forget about them because that could possibly be very messy and take a long time to clean up. I'm just sayin'. Not that I would know.
