"Honey, I'm running a bit behind this morning. Could you fix me a hot breakfast?" Ron called from the bathroom.
Apparently Ron was oblivious. It's not like Suzie was actually doing anything, right?
Not with the baby attached to her hip, crying with yet one more upset tummy, while she was doing her best to juggle him and a laundry basket, carrying these across the kitchen to the bedroom when -- Lo and behold! -- she just missed stepping in a lovely pile of dog vomit.
Again! The dog just can't stay out of the garbage, can she? Stupid mutt.
There was far too much going on for her to deal with his petty issues. So in her sweetest falsetto, she calmly replied with an off-handed laissez-faire flair, "A hot breakfast? You'd like a hot breakfast? Sure. How `bout I light your cornflakes on fire...?"
