Dear boys,
The Elmer’s glue stick that I just purchased?
IS NOT CHAPSTICK.
Sincerely,
Your mother.

As a former elementary school teacher, I have to comment on this. I HATED it when markers replaced crayons…colored glue sticks replaced jars of white paste (which washed off desks and fingers with ease)
Maybe it is good that I am retired now.
I think you are on to something Loralee. This may make a quieter house today. Let them use it!
P.S. but it can’t hurt to put it on your lips. And then press them together!
I love it!
HOLY CRAP! I’m totally LMAO!
Ha ha ha!
As a Mom to boys, I SO get that. (But then I have a few friends who’s daughters might just need that lesson, too…)
But it is nontoxic so that is okay right? LOL!
What, no p.s.???
Dear Loralee’s sons,
The bottle of brownish goop with the Gorilla on the front is by far the best chapstick around.
(note to Loralee…better than crazy glue…ought to keep them quiet until they hit 21)
Oh dear. Sounds like you’re in for some fun times…
Oh but I’m betting they’ll never forget THAT lesson.
LOL–sorry.
Oh ho man… I shed a tear (from laughing so hard) when I read this. My husband thought I was hyperventilating. Whoo!
That’s seriously funny.
So, I hope you’re feeling better today. Have you managed to… “pull your head out of your ass” yet?
I have no idea how I stumbled upon your blog. (Maybe I hit Stumble Upon?)
But I’m so very, very, VERY glad I did.
I’m officially hooked. :)
I don’t know, Loralee, there are days that I WISH my kids mistook glue sticks for chapstick.
In fact, maybe I should suggest it… ;)
Ha – I’d be happy to have my son try the “glue stick” chapstick – maybe give me a break from his incessant whining.
HA! Totally cracking up out loud right now! (And also remember all the bad memories of being the baby of the family plus gluesticks…eek!) .red.
HA!
woop woop woop woop I am laughing so hard right now. Te he he he he he…….
P.S. what’s with no P.S. thing ;)
That’s me! LingMAO.
I too think it might be a good idea to keep one around and tell them it is chapstick at appropriate (noisy) times.
Although it might keep them from saying actual words, I am certain it would not keep James quiet. Also, have all of you forgotten about the notes and incessant P.S.ing? Can you see the stacks of notes being shoved under your door and the fleet of paper airplanes flung in your direction when they need something but are unable to verbalize what that is? To tell them or not to tell? It’s probably a wash.
Hee-hee- I had to inform my 2yo once that the butt cream was not sunscreen- that was fun too!
A well researched site, I’ll link to it from my site thanks
If you have to ask, it probably means you should be doing it.
Bless you… Still yet another remarkable thread, that is exactly why I come for your wordpress bog frequently…
