Sometimes I just shake my head and surrender. I mean,sometimes, there is just nothing else to do but that. Today was one of those days
So I am downstairs with KU when he says to me, "Mom, KA dropped his pack of gum in the toilet."
"That's too bad," I said.
"But Mom, he dropped his pack of gum in the toilet."
"Did he flush it?" I ask.
"No"
"So where is it?"
"KA has it"
"KA," I yell at the top of my lungs, "Come down here please."
"Okay Mom"
"KA did you drop your pack of gum in the toilet?"
"Yes, Mom, I did"
"So where is it?"
"Right here," he says pulling it out of his pocket.
Then it dawns on me....
"KA, is the gum you are chewing, the gum you dropped in the toilet?"
"Yes, Mom"
Tutor Taylor and I just stare at each other, incredulous, until she recovers and says "KA gum that has been in the toilet has germs. Go spit it out right now!"
KA runs to spit it out....then KU follows right behind him and spits his out!!!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????? REALLY????? After that lollipop incident in the pit toilet? Didn't you learn anything then?????????? Granted you were only 5 but PLEASSSSSSE that is one of the lessons that should never be a repeat.
"KA, why did you think it was okay to fish your pack of gum out of the toilet?"
"Well, I let it dry out first!"
Remember, the rule......NEVER, EVER, EVER take anything you put in your mouth from my children. NEVER!!!!!!!! Taking anything food from my kids can be hazardous to your health!!!!! Consider this to be a warning and some sort of legal publication!!!!
