You Licked WHAT???

Today my 7 yr old got some dental work done that included a few stainless steel crowns. As she was laying on the couch resting tonight, we got to talking about her new teeth...

7 yr old: Are you sure my teeth are made with stainless steel?

Me: yes, why?

7 yr old: Because my teeth don't taste anything like your pans

Me: Hold on... what? you've TASTED MY PANS?

7 yr old: Um... well... not really, but kind of....

Me: Is that a yes?

7 yr old: Well... when you're not looking I sometimes lick the doorknobs too... and they don't taste like my teeth either.



OK, I admit that at her age I would suck on the zipper of my jacket because it tasted really good, and the pan thing is strange, but at least I know that my pans are clean... however, LICKING DOORKNOBS??? EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Titanic

7 yr old:

"I wanted to see how the Titanic sank, so I made a lego boat exactly the same size as the Titanic, only smaller."

Mr Potato Zed

There are times when you should openly laugh at the antics of your children, and times you should swallow that smile, look sternly at your child, and tell them to never, ever do that again. Today I failed miserably at the latter.

We live in a small house, so I try to keep the toys confined to one bedroom, and today is cleanup day. The kids were picking up toys in there for about 20 minutes when I heard my 2 yr old, we call him Zed, giggling and saying, "Wook! Wook! Wook!" I looked and couldn't help but laugh and take his picture, even though I probably should have taken the toy he had, made an angry face, and said something about never sticking anything in his ears.

I'd like you all to meet Mr. Potato Zed:
