Words I Never Thought I'd Have To Say

Nathan found one of his old binkies under the couch. He was very excited and I let him play with it for a little while before "accidentally" throwing it in the trash. I was on the computer, updating our Netflix queue, when a sopping wet child came running in saying:

"Tenny, don't throw it in potty binky!!!"

Oh no. I could tell by Nathan's curled upper lip and tensed eyebrows he was seriously mad.

"Kenny, get down here now! What did you do, and don't lie to me because Nathan already told me."

He thought for a few moments, probably trying to decided the most delicate way to get himself out of this situation.

"I threw Nathan's binky in the toilet. I wanted to see if he could catch it before it went all the way in."

I asked him if he planned on throwing the new baby's binkies in the toilet. He said probably not. I then found myself saying these words,

"Please don't throw binkies in the toilet ever again. It's gross."

You know, at one time in my life I was an intelligent person who said intelligent things. Guess those days are long gone!
