Slippery
Josiah took full advantage of Mom's phone call to poison control and opened the kitchen cupboard, found a nearly full (very large) jug of canola oil and opened it up. He proceeded to dump it on the kitchen floor while his mother tried to tell the woman on the phone how much his sister weighed and what exactly she sprayed in her mouth.
In my slightly distracted state, Josiah dumped about 1/2 gallon or more cooking oil on the floor before I was able to get it from him. He then proceeded to step, I mean slip, on it and smack his head a few times while he rolled around trying to get back up. He didn't seem to mind at all and rather enjoyed the oil bath. When he finally did make it up and started to walk, I had to sweep him up and quickly deposit him in the bathtub until I finished the call with poison control. During his wait, Josiah climbed out of the bathtub three times - very successfully, especially considering that he was completely soaked in oil. Needless to say, he joined Eila for a thorough scrub down.
