While folding laundry on the couch today I caught a glimpse of Charlotte taking some chapstick out of the drawer and begin to apply.
Me: Charlotte, stop. Let mommy put that on you.
She continues.
I get up from the couch. (which I don't like to do while folding because lets face it, the odds of me folding the laundry at all is low...so if I have to get up mid basket, those first odds of getting all the clothes folded just dropped another 50%.)
I approach her and realize it's not chapstick, it's a gluestick.
So today I figure that if no one has their lips glued shut by the time hubby gets home, I've done my job. :)

I realize you are a mother of 5 with MUCH more experience than I. BUT. Is there a reason that you are discouraging your children to NOT glue their mouths shut? :)
Seems to me one day Charlotte is going to come back and read all of this and say - "Mom, I was just following your direction and keeping my lips shut!"
Hee, hee! I agree with Tricia. That is pretty funny.
Oh my gosh!!! A secret fear of mine has been realized through you! Girls and their lip-gloss. And for the record, coloring the glue sticks blue and purple, you know those that tell when its dry kind, only exacerbates the problem. Blue Raspberry or Groovy Grape?
Glad everything came out okay in the end. Though it might be a good idea when those teenage years approach and they've offically gone boy crazy!
