Photo story friday. -my grease monkey and the oil slick
Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek
the other night, i was leaving comments galore on a friends blog. while my 9 year old made brownies. well his assistant (today i'll call him the grease monkey) stole the bottle of oil and lubed up my tile floor. i discovered the problem when he brought me the bottle of oil asking for more. it was AWESOME. so i made a couple more comments, and made a plea for any advise for cleaning up oil on tile, on my own blog. and finally i got around to cleaning it up. a friend suggested baking soda. it did absorb it, but i ran out all too fast. Then i tried cornstarch, which got slimy, and made a nice goopy substance. in the end i had to mop it up with paper towels, and then mop with some cleaner that was supposed to cut grease. while i was doing the paper towel clean up, my grease monkey climbed up on my back for a ride, the older kids snapped a picture. here you go. and that is my photo story Friday.

Ah, I am GLAD you told the rest of the iol story. So perfect. And you said you wouldn't be posting that picture on your blog! You must really love me...heeee.
I totally love this story...and how great that your kiddos took a photo!!! AWESOME!
Oh. My. Now that's a story!
Hmmm....wonder who's blog that was you were posting a zillion comments on, and why???? You're welcome for the baking soda idea -- I don't even know where I had heard that one, or how I even remembered it. I'm loving the pic of him on your back.
Haha, that is a funny story. =)
Oh I LOVE it!!! I am glad it is just not MY kids that do these type of things!!!
I love it! Those are the moment of moments! Thanks for playing PSF, this was perfect for it! That picture says it all. :)

oh and i love the pix of you and the grease monkey. and i love how you made it so we can't really see you! :)
chicken!
LOVE the pictures! How did you do that? And practical info too! Now I know what to do WHEN it happens to me;)
Love the photo of you cleaning it up with monkey on your back! The worst I've had is soy sauce all over wooden flooring; can't imagine cleaning up oil!
I would have kept on blogging hoping that my some miracle the mess would disappear!! I am glad to know that my kids aren't the only ones that get creative with their messes!!
♡ What a mess!!! Grease monkey... :)
Love the last picture! :)
Good thing you got THAT one documented! Great photo story!
That story's funny! Glad you could get it cleaned up.
LOVE the pic of you & him! It looks so retro '80s! LOL
Was out of town and missed this post. So I am doing some catching up and am laughing my ass off. So he hops on and goes for a ride what else? LOL too dang funny! How you didn't kill him we will never know. LOL I hope you aren't still finding the residual effects of the oil. ugh!
