Icka somehow managed to get the paint can of fuzzies (little fuzz balls that Scout and Icka earn when they do something nice, are kind, or say good prayers) opened, and dump them out everywhere.  This is the same can, that I have to use a butter knife to get open.  She’s kind of slick like that.  When Scout saw it, he was so bummed, because once he reaches the 2/3 mark, he gets to go to Chuck E. Cheeses.  The poor little guy has been collecting them since October, and is really close to the prize.  I told him that Icka and I would clean them up, and then I told him that Icka was sorry.  Then from behind me, I hear, “SAHWEE!”  That is the first time I had ever heard it, and it was cute!  Scout and I cracked up, and it lightened the intensity of the situation.  We started to clean it up together, and I realized that a handful of the fuzzies were wet.  Icka was sucking on them and spitting them out.  I tried to gather all of the wet ones before Scout realized, because there would have definitely been a meltdown.  We got the top on, put it up extra high, and that is when I figured out that “wet” fuzzies are much smaller than “dry” ones.  Poor Scout — it might take just a bit longer to fulfill your dream of tokens and tickets.
