9-1-1 Bellevue Drive

The nipple is encased in a glass baby food jar in the kitchen hutch for all to see. It’s our reminder of the harrowing afternoon that wasn’t. And now, when one of us is on the verge of overreacting, the other simply poses the question, “do you think it could be a burned nipple?”

Interesting how that helps us put out a lot of fires.

What a lucky turn of events! I would be horrified if I smelled something burning, yet couldn't discover the source! You did the exact correct thing to do in that situation. Think of it as a fire drill...At least now you have a plan. Also, your jarred nipple is a brilliant conversation starter, and tension reliever. You turned this could-have-been disaster into a positive, and this is something we should all learn to do. I just hope there's some sort of covering on the heat unit now so no melting can occur!
