Kitchen Tile Dash

I zipped past the living room doorway this morning and headed straight for the bright kitchen tiles. The slick, glazed floor offered almost zero friction, perfect for building up speed! Right in front of the lower cabinets, a plastic measuring spoon had fallen bowl-side down, forming a shallow curved bump. I leaned into a dead sprint across the grout lines, hit the slope of the spoon handle, and launched into a low skip across the slick surface. I skidded to a halt right by the toe-kick, my plastic feet sliding smoothly across the polished white surface without a hitch.
