A few days ago, before the weather warmed up, I was loading the baby into the car and Avery was waiting for me to put her into her seat. I pull my head out of the car and what do I see? My daughter is LICKING the taillight of our car.
GROSS.
I tried to explain the issues with dirt and germs and of course, the whole problem with cold weather and licking metallic objects. She looked at me like I was SOOOO PARANOID and GOOD LORD, MOTHER, WHAT IS WITH THE ANXIETY??
Some people need to learn things by experiencing them. It appears my daughter may be one of them. Just wait. Some day she’ll freeze her tongue to her boyfriend’s metal studded dog collar (or whatever the 21st century equivalent of that will be) and she will PROVE HER MAMA RIGHT.
