When the bottom of the door got 5 or so ft up, I stooped down, preparing to duck under the door, when suddenly a 3-4 ft long, nice fat, Texas rat snake fell from the back side of the door and landed on the garage floor with a plop, about three ft in front of me. This was a couple or so hours ago and I'm still not quite back to normal.

I guess now would be a bad time for a lecture on the beneficial aspects of rat snakes?

The one year old is on the BRAT diet. It's Mom's idea to help his gut recover from the flu. She told me what each letter stands for a couple days ago. I kinda filed it away someplace in my brain and tonight, when she was getting ready to go to her moms group I couldn't remember the T. She reminded me it's toast. Got it! Burned in my mind now! Ha! Yeah right!
Thirty minutes later, I'm in the kitchen getting dinner together for the kids. Banana, applesauce, toast..... What was the R? Rutabaga? Ravioli? Ratatouille? Russet potatoes? Raw something? I can text her, but I'm a man! I got this! I can remember the components of every system on a Boeing 767 and how those systems function, how hard can it be to remember a food that starts with R? After ten minutes of pacing and naming everything I could think of, I opened the fridge and scanned the shelves. There it was! The tub of Rice!

Because it's a baby. That's just what they do.
