Look for the director's cut, coming soon

I was telling a bedtime story to Jon, and when I finished, he said, "In a deleted scene...", then proceeded to provide additional details of the story I'd told him.

Code Orange Juice

This is a message from the emergency mom broadcast system. As of 10:50 am Wednesday, March 9th, there is a Code Orange Juice alert on for my kitchen. At an unknown time earlier today, a large pitcher of orange juice was left in my fridge, without a lid. I repeat, the orange juice is without a lid. A search of the premises revealed no lid for the orange juice. This orange juice was left at the height of a preschooler in the front of the fridge, without shielding with other large objects such as a closed milk container. Last known whereabouts of lid were with a small boy, brown hair, approximately 4 years old. When asked about the lid, he said "Sure I know where it is", but further questioning revealed the subject was unable to produce said lid. At this time, emergency tin foil will be placed on the orange juice, and the jerry-rigged orange juice system placed out of the way of small hands. That is all. Oh, and the vertigo is better.

He wants at least 20%" "But he's preverbal. How much can I do with that?" "Yeah, he's preverbal now, but have you heard his babbling lately?" "I admit, his babbling is very cute". "Cute? He's takes his art seriously. You can practically tell what he's talking about!" "I can go as much as 12% max. The kid doesn't have it yet." "But the rosy glow, the winning smile, the kid's a natural born star. You gotta give him at least 18%" "Tell you what," I said, "when he says "Mama", he can have 15%" So we reached a deal. I got off the phone to find that Hannah, our 14 year old cat...
