Always screw the lid on the salad dressing (by mommy)

It seems these days we don't get to sit down for dinner until after Sophies goes to bed.  Chris usually only gets to spend an hour or so with her when he gets home from work so we make the most of that time.  We spend it together as a family playing.  While I am feeding her and waiting for her to fall asleep, Chris is usually in the kitchen putting something together for dinner.  Last night we had buffalo burgers and salad.  

Chris has a bad habit of putting dressing on his salad and then setting the lid on the container without screwing it on.  He does this thinking that it will save me a step when I go to put dressing on my salad.  While I appreciate the sentiment, it is a really BAD idea.  A while back he did this and I picked up the dressing and shook it.  I got dressing all over the kitchen.  Needless to say, I wasn't very pleased with him and told him, AGAIN, in no uncertain terms that he needs to screw the cap on when he is finished.  

Well, last night he did it to himself and this was the result.  He had forgotten that he had already shaken the dressing and taken the lid off.  I had just walked into the kitchen as he started shaking it and SPLASH, I got a streak of dressing across the front of my shirt and a split second later, he splashed himself across the face and down the front of his shirt.  I looked at him in shock and we both burst out laughing.  I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes.

The good thing about always having a camera on hand to capture the cute Sophie moments, I seem to be able to capture the embarrassing daddy moments also.  I made him stand still until I could grab the camera and record this moment.  Before he could do anything else he had to wash the dressing off of his face and out of his hair.  Its a good thing that he didn't leave it on any longer than he did because for the rest of the evening he sported a red streak on his face where the dressing landed.  Kinda makes you wonder what it does to your stomach when it burns skin like this.  Bet next time he will screw the lid on the salad dressing bottle.  Thanks for the great laugh!  =)
