Mom Has Meltdown; Pizza Will Survive

Menopausal Mom Punches Pizza; Child Watches In Horror

SOMEWHEREIN, Mich (NOTKIDDING) –

One person suffered a minor meltdown after a frozen pizza would not fit into the freezer in a Michigan kitchen Saturday.

What started out as a mother daughter afternoon of bonding turned into a terrifying experience that shall not be soon forgotten by either traumatized party.  While in the grocery store that afternoon, the teen, known only as Cheeky Girl, decided some new garlic bread she heard about on a commercial sounded good.

Once home, the mom, often referred to as Princess, pre-heated the oven only to notice it was not the must-have garlic bread but rather a frozen pizza – not what  either one was craving. Rather the family was partial to Jet’s pizza – so the frozen pizza simply would not do.

Gaba-Calm

It’s also important to include a bit of a back story. Earlier, the mom purchased some Gaba-Calm which is an amino acid that is supposed to have a calming or anti-anxiety effect on those who partake in the supplement. Princess, a somewhat absent-minded mom at times, kept referring to it as Kava-Kava, which is another supplement also associated with anti-anxiety.  That is a key element in the remainder of this horrific chain of events.

Being ever so tranquil and agreeable, and knowing how much the teen was eager for garlic bread, Princess suggested they simply go back to the store and get said garlic bread. Before they returned to Meijer, Princess needed to put the frozen pizza in the freezer. Since they had just returned from grocery shopping, the freezer was well stocked.

No problem, and thanks to the agreeable mom, she merely started removing food items until she could make room for the large unwanted frozen pizza. After a number of multifarious attempts it became rather obvious that the DiGiorno Frozen Garlic Pizza (not Garlic BREAD) was not going to fit into the side by side freezer. Not because of the other food packages, but rather because mathematically the box was too stinkin’ big to fit into or onto any of the shelves.

Kava Kava

With a flip a switch the menopausal mom started to become agitated; her pulse quickened; her jaw clenched. She barked, “What.the.hell?!”  The young teen stood in silence and in fear, as her mother was not accustomed to cursing. In horror and in shock, Cheeky Girl watched as the melt down reached an apex.

More shoving, more jamming, more finagling before Princess screamed “THE FREAKIN’ PIZZA WON’T FIT! WHERE IS THE KAVA KAVA?!!!” And then she repeatedly PUNCHED, and JABBED and then a final HAYMAKER, until the frozen pizza found its rightful home inside the side by side freezer.

And just as quickly as she went from 0-60 in 5 seconds flat, the mom regained control of her senses, calmed herself, stood up from kneeling in front of the freezer, smoothed out her dress and calmly said to her daughter, in a hushed voice, “I’m sorry you had a witness that. Let’s go get some garlic bread.”

En route back to the store, once the teen was confident her mother was not going to wig-out again, she cracked a smile and started to giggle. The giggle became a full-on roar of laughter as Cheeky Girl yelled “WHERE’S THE KAVA KAVA?”  The hilarity did not stop there. Throughout the frozen food aisles both the mother and daughter continued to cackle like uncontrollable hens to the point of near hyperventilation.  Nearby shoppers looked upon their display of hysterics as somewhat odd.

If only they knew what had taken place less than 10 minutes earlier. Mother/Daughter bonding indeed.  More Gaba-Calm please.
