I’m totally going to lighten the mood around here because after calling people assholes, a little bit of a change is in order.
So last night, after all the kids had showers, I was asking if they had brushed their teeth. They all looked around at the ceiling, walls and any other place except me so I totally knew toothbrushes hadn’t come anywhere near their teeth.
“Brush them,” I ordered and pointed to the bathroom. The next thing I knew, there was screaming and the girls were yelling at each other.
“Mom!!! She stuck the dental floss up her butt!!”
“You guys just br—-wait, what???”
“I told Gracie I needed the dental floss and she stuck the container up her butt so I couldn’t get it. See?!?”
I turn to look at Gracie and sure enough, she’s standing there, buck naked, with her little butt cheeks clenched tightly on, what I can only assume was, the dental floss.
She had the dental floss shoved between her butt cheeks and she was holding onto it tighter than a clam.
“Mooom!! That is so gross!! I can’t use that! It’s not fair, they gave me that in school when the dentist came in. I want my dental floss!”
“Honey, just get another thing of floss. It’s not that big of a deal. At least it’s not up her vagina.”
“Ewwwww, mom, she wouldn’t do that, would she?” And we were giggling and I got Lizzy’s mind off the fact that her dental floss was up her sisters butt….and at that moment we both turned around to see Gracie loosen her butt grip on the dental floss and put it….
I can’t even say it.
She put it up front.
“OMG, MOM!!!! Now what am I going to do? That’s disgusting!!”
“Oh for God’s sake, Gracie! Get the dental floss out of your vagina! NOW!!”
Never in a million years did I ever think I’d utter those words. Never in a million years.
She gave up the dental floss, they all brushed and flossed—with another container of floss, I might add—and then went to bed.
And now I think I need therapy or a drink. Or a drink and therapy.
