Kool Aid Debacle

Yesterday I took the trash out twice. The second time around, I checked out fridges to see if any food needed to be thrown out. The kids do a poor job with that. As I opened our large silver fridge, a huge container of Kool Aid fell down spilling onto the floor. It was the red variety.

I immediately called out to the family for help. We assembled a bunch of towels and sopped up the Kool Aid. Unfortunately we were not quick enough. Some of the drink went under the fridge and freezer. We moved both and cleaned the floor underneath them.y.

After moving the freezer back to its original spot, I noticed a trail of Kool Aid under its path. Damn. The Kool Aid was on the bottom of the freezer. We then had to start the arduous task of emptying out the freezer, tipping it on its side, and cleaning the bottom of the thing.

The whole cleanup took 45 minutes. That's a lot of time considering we had all four members of the family working on the task at the same time. These kids got to make sure the Kool Aid (and any other drink containers) are pushed to the back of the fridge. Otherwise we will continue to be on cleanup duty.
