Tampons are not cheese sticks

This story starts out with Paycen...the climber. That's right I said Paycen. For those of you who follow my blog, 2 years ago I posted about Kaden the climber. Well now I have a TWO climbers. Paycen moves chairs and climbs up everything including counter top, living room heater and kitchen table. The JOY life brings.

So I am enjoying a book on the couch while the boys are playing with trains. I hear Kaden yell at Paycen something like "Payce. You can't eat that cheese stick. You didn't ask mom." and then "MOM! Paycen is eating a cheese stick. Can I have one to?" I put my book down puzzled. I told Kaden he could have a cheese stick but thought...how in the world did Paycen get one. He can't open the fridge. To answer my thought provoking question, Paycen toddles in gnawing on a tampon. WHAT! A TAMPON! not to worry it was unused and in the wrapper. He had climbed on the kitchen table, opened my purse, opened my tampon pouch concealer and thought to himself "This looks good! I wonder what it tastes like?" and started chewing on it. He was pretty happy with himself when walking around the corner with the tampon in hand. I took it from Paycen and shook my finger in his face saying "No, no Paycen. Tampons are not cheese sticks." I was laughing to myself the rest of my day. I can't believe I said that. And I can't believe he was actually chewing on it.

Sorry. I had to share my funny story. Hope you had a laugh!!

They most certainly are not. That's one of those stories you will look back and laugh on...and tell their girlfriends :)

Holy cow that is hilarious! My kids have an ultra infatuation with tampons too; they are on top of the cupboards in an un-reachable place otherwise they get spread all over the house! Funny kiddos!

That is hilarious! Unfortunately my kids think anything in a wrapper is candy...so of course I am visiting teaching and I glance down to see both my kids holding an open tampon. They weren't eating them, just looking perplexed. *sigh*

Emery is convinced that they are candy because they have a wrapper and has opened a billion of them.

I love a good laugh any time of the day. One time during sacrament meeting one of the boys looking through the bag thought it would be great to haul a wrapped tampon on his truck trailer, not good.
