The Nose Knows
















Adam: Mom I smell gum. I want gum! (as he sniffs my purse which has gum in it that I don't want him to have because he eats it like candy if he knows we have any.)

Mom: Adam I don't have any gum, we're all out. (It's a lie for his own good, right?)

Adam: Mom, come on. (He takes my hand and leads me to the bedroom where I used to keep a stash of gum)

Adam: Open the cupboard Mom.

Mom: There is none up there it's all gone. (Why am I fighting it, we all know I'm gonna cave in)

Adam: Lift me up I want to see. (He's beginning to catch on that when gum is involved I am a dirty liar)

Mom: See, no gum. (Holy cow, he's heavy!)

Adam: Fine, I'm not having any then! (As he falls to the floor sobbing, the little drama queen.)

Mom: Sorry honey. (I walk out as waves of guilt wash over me, yes, the drama thing works.)

Adam: No one loooves me!!! (Oh, he's laying it on thick!)

Mom: Look Adam, Mommy found ONE piece in her purse. (yeah, yeah, I'm a pushover.)

Note to self: Find a new hiding place for gum, store gum in a ZipLock.

Thanks for the comment on my blog! So glad when someone new stops by!

Looks like you have a great blog! I'll add you to the roll if I can get blogger to let me in again (having troubles lately...vista, ugh!)

I have to tell you, on the post you did with science, I would pull the weirdest stuff out of my fridge and freezer. Holy Holy. The best was a couple of frogs. Seems they were trying to recreate nature and see if frogs really could survive being frozen and then thaw out in spring. Thanks National Geographic videos!
