Yesterday afternoon a battle of epic proportions took place in my kitchen. I can't tell you anything about the parties in battle nor the subject of the conflict, just that it took nearly the entire kitchen. For reasons clear to only the wild, wonderful imagination of my darling son, the battle involved scores of Pokemon cards, several rocket ships, two robots, a bunny ball launcher, a foam rubber sword and a Fisher-Price flashlight. Actually the foam rubber sword and the rocket ships are the only items that made any sense to me.
When the battle threatened to reach the stove, I had to draw a line in the sand, er, tile and declare certain areas to be No Man's Land; otherwise, dinner was in dire jeopardy of not being prepared for the hungry commander and his family.
I am happy to report that when all was said and done, the kitchen was declared safe for democracy and dinner.
