Not off to a great start today

Sometimes if Jeff is running late to work/school I'll help him out by pouring him some cereal and milk in a bowl and getting out a packet of his wowwy-kapowwy-can't-live-without-them-vitamins. In marriage it's the little things that matter the most. :O)

That said, I tried to help Jeff this morning by getting him some cereal. The only problem was that when I went to set the bowl on the table half the milk went sloshing over the sides onto the table, chair, and floor. So I very patiently walked back to the kitchen and refilled the bowl with milk and headed back to the table and then proceeded to spill the milk yet again. Jeff, of course, being the wonderful husband that he is asked, "Mel, are you okay today?" and I just started laughing hysterically. I tried to clean off the chair, but I guess not well enough since Jeff bolted up just as soon as he sat down. So he sat in another chair for the rest of the meal while I stood on paper towels I'd spread out across the carpet to soak up the spills.

Now, in my defense, our bowls are very shallow. They are the kind of bowls that only very rich people would use and only then because they employ a butler and/or a maid who have very good balance and/or coordination. In short, they are not very suited to normal everyday people such as myself. So for those of you who are contemplating buying new dishes, make sure that you know the depth of the bowls.
