Can You Mash Potatoes...Can You Eat Them Hot?

It took planning.
It took coordinating and a watchful eye on the stove.
Not to mention, an actual thought about tonight's supper before 4:00 pm.
Water was boiling, potatoes were peeled, grilled cheeses were browning (blackening) and kids were sitting....finally.
Potatoes went in....boiling....all mouths eating...potty flushing.
Plates were cleaned...two diapers changed...table washed....toys back out....
potatoes done and mashed quickly. 
Cooling on the back burner in the hot kettle. 
Kids read to....last diapers changed...everyone tucked in...loud thud

Hot, mashed, potatoes on the kitchen floor...guilty looking brown-eyed dog repeatedly licking his most-likely burned tongue. 
Thinking to myself....laugh?....cry?....or just wonder if it was worth it?!
