Onyx Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 It's sometimes quite an .. um... adventure when you have small children. One day my when oldest was about 4 years old she asked me who invented Listerine. "Dr. Lister. He knew a lot about disinfectants and killing germs. He was a scientist." Then she asked me where he lived. I told her that Dr. Lister had died years ago. "Well, where is he?" "He is buried in the ground in a cemetary." Her eyes got real wide and she got a worried look and she said "Well, let's go dig him up!" Once she sprayed our toothbrushes with perfume. (Only mommy and daddy's, not hers). When I noticed the horrible taste I asked her if she had put anything on it. "Yes mommy! I wanted to make them smell pretty. Mine already smelled pretty from the toothpaste." Just a few weeks ago my youngest (who is currently 8 years old) announced to my boyfriend "Guess what happened? Mommy got a speeding ticket!!!" (she was very excited to share the news). Yesterday she asked me if she could have a sleepover. I said sure. Then she said - "Oh wait, most of my friends are boys. That would just be awkward. I guess I won't have a sleepover." There used to be an ad campaign about smoking that had wrinkled faces and it said "smoking is very beautiful". Heather saw a wrinkled cashier and said to the lady "You know, if you would stop smoking you wouldn't be so wrinkled!!" While I tried to sink into the floor, the lady said to her "Yeah, honey, I'm trying to quit".
