5 Minutes

3 Bags of Orville Redenbacher Tender White Popcorn ($2.99)
+ 5 Cans of Store Brand Orange Soda ($1.00)
+ 1 DVD of The Backyardigans with episodes never previously viewed by your children ($11.88) =

5 uniterrupted minutes before someone pegs his brother with popcorn, causing said brother to spill soda all over the baby and the carpet, causing the baby to knock over the entire bowl of popcorn, causing the popcorn to turn orange and soggy, forcing everyone in the house to burst into tears = still blissfully worth it.

One little thing can set off a trail of other events. I love it, even if the ending is not so sweet.

Oh, goodness - I didn't think that popcorn could be so dangerous ;) I hope the kids were able to get another chance to watch their DVD so you could enjoy some 'you time'.
