Strike another thing off the bucket list. I've always wanted to try a turducken, because it is simply one of the goofiest ideas I've ever heard of. Sort of like those wax cones you stick in your ears to clean them out - why not just use Q-tips? Anyway, a turducken, for those of you who do not know, is a turkey with duck and chicken inside. It's sort of a poultry meat frenzy, with a funny name on top of all that. When I hear "turducken," I immediately picture Ken or Ryu shouting that phrase as they are doing a dragon punch on Street Fighter.
But I digress. Today is a big day, a day of turkduckens, of course. But it is also a day for the Burpnado! This is a term that Madison coined today, one she made up on her own out of nowhere - and Daddy thought it was too good to ignore. The imagery is pretty amazing alone, as are the conditions that must have created this sort of meteorological event. I'm assuming there was a low pressure system involved, along with a lot of soda. Based on her descriptions, one burpnado apparently crossed over a bowl of soup - a fairly large one, evidently. This in turn created an equally amazing phenomenon: a Burpspout. A burpspout is a burpnado that has made contact with liquid, sucking it upwards and launching it skyward. Although this is simply an awesome sight to behold, I recommend doing so at an extremely safe distance, rather than get caught up in all of it.
Today was a day for work, and lots of it. We also were doing a bit of prep for Mommy's upcoming 'week off.' She has surgery on Monday, which is looming in every possible way. We're nervous about it for all sorts of reasons, but we put it out there that this is happening, and everyone is praying for us as we approach the big day. Mommy will be okay. We'll be in the hospital for a bit, but Mommy will be okay.
Once again, Madison had ballet tonight. She's certainly keeping busy after school, also doing a bit of piano. And looking for her pants. This has become a latest thing, collecting all the pants in the "The LEGO Movie Game." The big question, "Where's My Pants?" will hopefully be answered soon! Hopefully, they weren't all sucked up in some big Burpnado...
