Shrimp Stink

On tonight's menu: Top Ramen

It's pain and torture to get my child to eat anything. Top Ramen is one thing she will usually tolerate. Tonight, I prepared shrimp flavored Top Ramen for her dinner.

As a side note, I must remind my readers that I do not eat seafood. I define seafood as: "anything that has lived in, looked at, or ever considered the sea as its home."

So I thought I was being pretty generous to not only provide her with a shrimp-flavored packet of sodium and other nasty crap, but I also put real shrimp into the dish!

Real shrimp! Yeah! These are the things I do for my daughter!

So as she's eating, wrapped up in a blanket (why? I don't know) she knocks the bowl of shrimp-flavored Top Ramen with real shrimp into her lap. The blanket catches most of it.

Horrified, I manage to carry the blanket over to the garbage can to dump the remains of the ramen noodles and real shrimp. Some of those little tiny ramen noodles remained clinging to the blanket.

I thought it would be a smart idea to take the blanket outside to shake the remaining noodles from its clutches.

Wrong! I feel the shrimpy broth spray all over my arms and face! Bad idea! I'm now covered in a Shrimp Stink!
