The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Bad- Giving your 5 year old an entire peice opposed to a half of bubblicious gum in the car and forgetting you gave it to her because it's 5:00 and your going to walmart on a diaper run by yourself with 3 kids.

Bad- Not making sure the gum made it into the trash as your five year old never chews gum for very long, especially that big of a piece.

Bad- Getting into the car at 3:30 the next day to go to your hair appointment and having your daughter "tell you the truth" as to why her hands are blue.

Bad- Finding out that she found said gum in the car cubby hole, grabbed it to re-eat it, found it melted, panicked when it got messy on her hands and proceeds to rub it all over the side of the car to get it off. (our brand new Honda pilote!)

Ugly- The amount of gum that can cover the inside of the car.

Good- A dad who takes pitty on her weary daughter at the end of a long day for himself and cleans up my car since Mike is at a baseball game and I just had my nails done! Thanks dad!

That is funny! You have to think Emily was thinking that she was the smartest person in the world by hiding that gum to eat later rather than risking you telling her that she couldn't have another piece. :)

Oh the funny things kids do. Not so funny to us at the time, but those who have survived parenthood, will appreciate the humor of this story as we have all been there. I do have to give you extra points for it being a gum mess! EWWWW!

I was waiting to read whose hair the wad of gum made it in...not the side of the car! Yikes! Dad's are always good at saving the day!
