by The_Captain » Mon Apr 24, 2006 12:41 pm My wife emailed me with a funny story last week about our 3-year old, Meghan, which I thought I would share with all of you. My wife is a stay-at-home mom which allows her to experience some funny moments such as this.
As she was working on her business, my wife noticed out of the corner of her eye, our cat spinning around and around chasing her tail with my youngest daughter in tow. Now, the Easter Bunny was a bad bunny for bringing my girls gum for their easter baskets, which both are usually pretty good with. So as she's noticing the cat chasing her tail, she sees something pink at the end of her tail (knowing she had given Meghan a piece of gum previously - now how the piece of gum ended up on the cat's tail is still a mystery). So as she's getting up to help the cat, Meghan has successfully retrieved her gum from the cat's tail and before my wife can stop her, has put it back in her mouth - hair and all! (Everyone together now - ICK!) So, does the "5 second rule" apply to cat's tails?
So in her attempt to get the situation under control (and don't ask how my daughter accomplished this) the gum has now made it from her mouth into her hair. As my wife is growing ever more frustrated with Meghan, she remembers mayonnaise will take gum out of hair without resorting to more extreme measures (scissors - which Meghan is quite adept at using herself - which is a whole other story). So into the kitchen they go.
My wife gets the mayonnaise out of the refrigerator and proceeds to slather the stuff in Meghan's hair in hope of retrieving the gum. To which my beloved youngest asks "Mommy, what doing with the mayonnaise?" My wife kindly replies "Trying to get the gum out of your hair honey." To which (this is the funniest part) Meghan says "Oh mommy, I yike mayonnaise (she can't say the letter L)!" and proceeds to run her hands through her hair and begin licking the mayonnaise off them.
Growing more and more frustrated with the situation, she gets Meghan into the shower to wash the mayonnaise out of her hair and again Meghan asks "Mommy, what doing?". My wife replies "Washing the mayonnaise of your hair Meghan, so the gum will not be there anymore." Confused by this Meghan says "But Mommy, I yike mayonnaise!".
