White Christmas 2007: I

Cereal trauma…
Previous readers may recall that our beautiful Amelia is not the most physically coordinated child (note last year’s upside down, inside out and backward shirt incident). And so it was with well founded exasperation that Kristin found Amelia trying to make her bed while holding a Ziploc bag of Fruit Loops in one hand. In an uncharacteristic moment of weakness she blurted out, “Put the damn Fruit Loops down!” The bag instantly hit the floor. Witnessing Kristin’s frustration, little Ella was more than eager (and almost panicked) to find some way to help Amelia clean the room. She immediately leapt to action, grabbed the Ziploc off the floor, handed it to Amelia and plainly said “Here you damn foot yoops, Amelia.”
