Elizabeth decided to conduct a scientific experiment at the Evan’s
Diner this morning to determine the blast radius of a coffee creamer.
The only problem is that she didn’t warn us beforehand. I was holding
her in my lap and Frank was across the booth. Suddenly there was a
loud POP and I was spattered with a cold substance. Frank and I
looked at Elizabeth with stunned expressions. There Elizabeth sat,
equally stunned, with the bottom end of a coffee creamer container
still clenched in her teeth. She had apparently chomped down on the
bottom so hard that the top burst open, spewing it’s contents across
the restaurant.

Frank and I spent the rest of breakfast dabbing up dots of milk and
quietly surveying the shirts of the customers in our vicinity. It’s
interesting because cream doesn’t run, the little droplets of cream
just stayed where they landed, similar to how mud behaves.

For those of you who are curious, we determined the blast radius was
about 6 feet. Having known people who have stomped on ketchup
packets, I would say that Elizabeth’s display with creamer was much
more impressive.
