Can I get ah ah ah ah ah!

As my mommy is a lawyer that deals specifically in products liability and warning labels, I hear all the time about being careful. Well as we have all read the warning labels regarding choking hazards, I will have you know that labels do not come on the menu at Chiles for the bottomless tortilla chips. Recently, we went to eat dinner at Chiles. As many of you know, my daddy is a HUGE fan of chips and salsa. Secretly he pines away for me to be an addict as well. So without thinking, he breaks off a sizable piece of a tortilla chip for me, sucks on the corners to make sure they are not "too sharp" and proceeds to offer me up something new. As my mother sits by advising him that the piece offering is much too large, too late, its in my mouth.

I start gumming away with my mommy watching very carefully. Next thing you know, my lips are turning the color of water. My mommy springs in to action pounding on my back. Now pause here a moment, have you ever had two people pound on your back like you are a punching bag? Note, I have attempted to swallow something hard, can't breathe and for some reason they're pounding on my back. Proceeding on, my father says, flip him upside down. I'm looking at him with big eyes wondering why are we going to play flip me upside game, hello I have a chip stuck in my throat, not really the time for games! Side bar, I'm also strapped into my highchair so that was not an option. Next thing you know, I have my mommy's finger in my mouth, down my throat, and i'm gagging like a cat with a hairball! Well that did it, the chip flipped sideways allowing me to scream like a newborn baby taking his first breath. I continued to howl for a few minutes as my mommy's body acted like a roller coaster ride shaking continuously from the adrenaline rush. Good times!

After all was said and done, all the staff at Chiles came by for a visit. I entertained them with my breathing abilities as well as clapping for them. It's gonna take a lot more than a tortilla chip to keep me down. Until next time...Staying Alive, Staying Alive, ah ah ah ah ah, Staying Alive, Staying Alive!
