Hi Kim, Shigella does not sound like fun. I have never heard of it but I’d prefer not to get it. Washing your hands, good. Shigella, BAD. 🙁

She will ALWAYS wash her hands after that. In fact my daughter now reminds ME to wash my hands “or you might get shigella!”

Will you tell my kids that too? They will believe you. Everything out of my mouth is like Charlie’s Brown parents…WAH WAH WAH WAH. 🙂

I appreciate that, Brenda, especially coming from you–an amazing parent with two very special and amazing kids (and grandchildren too!!!) Bubba Forever!!! Love you!

Ooh, Audra! That would have been even better! I wish I had thought to add one some of her words in the letter. You are GOOD!! Really good!

Next time he goes for that extra piece, just say “I got you! SIP SIP!!” He will think you’re insane but he’ll back away from the candy. 🙂

I have a Scamerella and Scamerooni of my own. I always ask them which they think bothers me more…the thing they didn’t do, or the lie. I think it’s important to let them know that we’re “on to them” before those teen years hit…. Good move, Mommy!
