Well, we had a bit of drama at our place, tonight, when CQ burned her foot in a bowl of hot soup.  Maybe I should start from the beginning.  Alli was eating a hot bowl of soup on the couch and CQ was sitting next to her, sharing it.  CQ, being rambunctious as usual, started climbing around and tried climbing up on Alli, using the bowl of soup as her first foothold position.  Riley went for a rag and soaked it with cold water, by which time CQ was already crying about the burn (it must have taken a bit for the soup to soak through her footed pajamas).  We pulled off the pajamas and soaked CQ’s foot in the cold rag, whilst CQ wailed away.  After a tense inspection by Dr. Dad, the amateur opinion was that the severity of the injury was 15% first degree burn and 85% bedtime (we will not be seeking a second opinion).  The tension was not released until CQ was given her revenge: another bite of the soup that burnt her.
