Now, I just hope that no one decides to try out their vampire skills on The Talker when the entire group comes to play at our house, Friday morning. He wanted to leave, so we left, no questions asked. But I thought it was really important that The Talker know that his daddym is sympathetic. I was not really mad, I know that kids do stuff like that. I imagine they were puzzled when we left so quickly. Hopefully, the other dads will get a handle on the biting thing. The second time, he wailed! When I picked him up, he whispered to me, "I wanna go home." So we took our toys and went home. The first time, The Talker gave up the toy that the other kid wanted, and he cried a little. TWICE! To be fair, it was two different kids and they are both younger than The Talker, but dang. While a the park this morning, with a SAHDs playgroup, The Talker was bitten. I promise, they will not laugh at you.Īnd please move the pictures off of the floor before you let your daughter roll around! Seriously, though, DON'T TAKE MY WORD for it. Watch her closely for any hives or allergic reactions for 24 hoursĬall back if she breaks out or if she runs a feverĪND be glad that it was only an inkjet print, because photo lab prints are worse! Try to feed her or give her water (Hopefully, she did not just finish eating a HUGE meal before partaking of her photographic dessert) I can save you the call to 1 800 222-1222, also know as Poison Control.Ĭause this is what they are going to tell you: IF your two and a half-year old has been given an inkjet-printed picture of one of his friends and he has left the picture laying around in the living room, AND your six-month old daughter rolls to the picture and EATS it, while you are trying to fix your lunch, don't worry. Don't mix 'em up unless you want to face the wrath of The Talker. Lemon, round, green and could make his living as a baseball. Uncle Lemon, tall, brown hair and he may play baseball for a living. He was very insistent that no one mix up the two. I'll let them try to figure it out when they get bored. Lemon, NOT Uncle Lemon." He told the cashier and the bagger the same thing.

Yes, he smells funny, too!) The Talker immediately announced "Daddy, It's Mr. (He smells funny, but I think he is supposed to be scented like strawberries.) The green one is Mr. The balls have faces and names painted on them. The Talker picked one for his siter and then one for himself. Since AtHomeDaddy is a sucker for a toy that costs less than a buck, the kids each ended up with a new ball. As we were walking to the cash registers, I saw a bin of rubber balls for 50 cents each. (A personal thanks to Uncle Lemon for that one!) The kids were very good at the grocery store. The story begins with an early morning run for Dr Pepper. And now Uncle Lemon has soared to a new high-status level in The AtHomeFamily house. The Talker mentions Uncle Lemon everytime we see baseball on TV. He gave the Talker golf clubs which are used everytime we venture into the backyard. Uncle Lemon is a pretty important guy around here. Scary, isn't it? And the worst part, I never did remember The Talker's witty comment. The timeline might be a little off, but this is a pretty good snapshot of our day.
