Chapstick Has Many Uses!

It's not Mother's Day, but gosh -- you need to check this story out. See if you have any Chapstick in the house! And if you have toddlers dispose of it before you have this happen to you.
_______________
This family had a 10 year-old cat named Jack who died. Jack was a great cat ,and the kids would carry him around and sit on him and nothing ever bothered him. He used to hang out and nap all day long on a mat in their bathroom.

At the time of this tale, the three children were four, three and one. The middle child loved Chapstick. He kept asking to use his Mom's Chapstick and then he'd often lose it.

So finally one day Mom showed him where she kept the Chapstick telling him he could use it anytime. The drawer in the bathroom held the stick of soothing ointment.

However, one Mother's Day as the family rushed to get ready for church everyone cried and carried on. Two of the kids fought over the toy in the cereal box while the baby wailed as Mom put her make up on.

Everything had long forgotten it was a Mother's Day, a Sunday to honor Mom and the amazing job she holds -- motherhood.

Finally everyone loaded up in the car only that "middle child" was missing. Mom hurried back into the house and found her toddler in the bathroom applying Chapstick VERY carefully to their cat's rear end.

The boy looked right into his mother's eyes and said "chapped."

Now if you have a cat, you know that their little butts do look pretty chapped at times. This Mom had only one question, "Was this the FIRST time her son applied Chapstick to the cat, or was it the 100th?!"

So got any fun Mother's Day tales to share? I'd love to hear them! And no, I don't want to borrow your Chapstick!

Hi Pam,

Too funny!

Trying to catch up with all my friends on their blogs, Facebook, Shout Life, etc.

It is so nice to have my own place now, where I can spread out, instead of just one room.

Blessings my friend!
