Oil Spill

I just got home from babysitting and I smell like olive oil. The 7 year old boy was "helping me" find the popcorn in the pantry, and in the process knocked over an olive oil bottle that was mysteriously missing its cap. His exact words after this happened: "I think something spilled." And then he ran back into the living room to watch Pokemon, leaving me to fend for myself in a pantry that was literally dripping with oil. I started cleaning it up, but I was simultaneously trying to keep a newly-walking toddler out of the mess. I pulled the ole "Sit on this green tile in the middle of the kitchen floor far away from any sharp objects and don't move" trick. It worked for twelve seconds, which is a record for a 14-month-old, and was long enough for me to throw paper towels on everything to start soaking up the oil.

The mess eventually got cleaned up. Soon after I got home, my left hand started itching, and I noticed it was breaking out in hives. Dear God please don't let me be allergic to olive oil. That would totally suck. I guess it could be caused by anything, though. I took a benadryl just in case because I don't want to go into some sort of systemic shock in my sleep and stop breathing. Now I am about to pass out.

And this is how I spent my Friday night!
