Hey, I would have cleaned up that mess, mama.  You just have to ASK!

“That Mess”= Mama’s three-days-to-make-soupe de poisson-with-green-crab-base-and-five-more-fish-soup-fish-added!

Don’t look at me, all I heard in my deep slumber was mama yelling but…well, I’m not going to say what she was yelling but it was heard all over the house (just as this fish soup is now permeating every corner of our dwelling) and I ran to see if I could help and she yelled, “NO, NO, LOULOU, begone back to your slumbers!”  Or something that sounded like that so I beat it out of there but I saw what had happened and oh, boy, mama was NOT a happy camper, whatever that is.

Open fridge.  Reach for special fish soup for dinner.  Mistakenly brush against ketchup bottle, which threatens to drop and which one GRABS so as not to let it fall and soup bowl slops…er…slips out of hands and goes ALL OVER THE FLOOR, SPLASHING EVERYTIHING IN ITS WAKE INCLUDING ALL OF MAMA’S CLOTHES, SHOES AND WORST OF ALL, HAIR!

Ech!!!  Fish in the hair is the WORST!  Mama is always eating boiled shrimp and then running her hands through her hair, without thinking.  Well, she actually isn’t really doing that but it LOOKS that way and papa is always saying, “ACK, you’re running your shrimp hands through your HAIR.”

(But she does it just for fun.  She has actually washed them first, haha. Got to keep ’em on their toes.)

Well, the last I heard or saw of this culinary disaster was mama in the tub, shoes and all under the shower, trying to wash out the green crab, salmon, whitefish, leftover delicious juice from scallops, and clam juice leftover from spaghetti alle vongole and then silence.

Quiet fuming, I might call it.

BUT…happy ending.  Sort of.  There was enough for dinner.  Well, appetizers.  And I sneaked in and found a few drops lurking next to ground zero and cleaned that up for mama.  Whoa, that was a nice little soup-soup.  I’m still dreaming of it as you can see…

Something is still a little…fishy around here.  Better go check.
