This past winter our house went through a cycle of illness
that never seemed like it was going to end.
Miss M would get sick, then I would, then Mr. Man, then the cycle would
start all over again.
After what seemed
like the 100th go-around, enough was enough and Mr. Man and I
decided it was time to disinfect the house.
At the end of our long day of cleaning, we climbed into our
freshly cleaned bed and Mr. Man shared the following parenting brilliance…
Me: Ahhhhh, I love the feel of clean sheets!
Mr. Man: It’s so nice
to know the sick has all been washed away.
ME: Definitely! Between washing all the sheets, and Lysoling
everything nailed down, we have got to be officially germ free!
Mr. Man: Ya, that’s
why I Lysoled Miss M. Just to be on the safe side.
ME: Um, huh? You mean you sprayed her toys and stuff right? You didn’t actually spray Lysol on our child? |
| Mr. Man and Miss M approx. a million Parenting Shortcuts ago |
Mr. Man: No, I meant
what I said. I told her to close her eyes, and then I
sprayed her right in the face. That’s
where the sick was coming from, with the never ending running nose and constant
coughing so it seemed like the best way to get rid of it. Besides it says right on the bottle that it
kills 99.9% of germs.
Well, how can you argue with logic like that?
What are your favorite Parenting Shortcuts?
P.S. Mr. Man was just
pulling my chain, he didn’t actually spray Miss M in the face with Lysol… but
knowing him, I’m sure he thought about it!
