Caption contest

I think this photo I snapped of my curious Solomon is absolutely roll-on-the-floor hilarious!

Lemme esplain . . . .

I often plant Solomon on the counter while I'm mucking about in the kitchen.  I like to keep a close eye on my busy boy.  Of course, the problem with this counter-top set-up is that there aren't many toys up there to play with.  Believe me, I've TRIED providing Solomon with cars, spoons, bowls, travel mugs and Tupperware to keep him occupied but those items usually don't hold his interest long.

The coffee pot is obviously a different matter.  Since babyhood this boy of mine has always LOVED taking things apart and then putting them back together.  He often sits there happily removing and replacing the coffee pot lid while I'm cooking away. 

As you can see from the photo, Solomon noticed there were some drops of liquid remaining at the bottom of the pot.  And he was thirsty.

Is it bad that I grabbed the camera to capture this hilarious moment before taking the coffee pot away?

So, here's where you come in.  Write a clever caption for my coffee-gulping Solomon photo and you could win a prize!

What's the prize?  An apropos prize would involve coffee, no?  The author of caption I like best will net a bag of locally roasted yummy java beans.  And I WILL ship overseas so international entries are welcome.    I'll keep the caption-writing contest open through next Friday, November 11.

Happy penning!

Good to the last drop!

With a few more sips of coffee, I could rule the world!

I don't drink coffee so you don't need to include me in the giveaway :)

Carrie: I could certainly find something else yummy for you to drink! Do you like tea?

It's been a "finish the pot" kind of day.
