Part Two of You put *what* in your mouth?!
If you haven’t read the original You put *what* in your mouth?! I’d recommend starting there before reading this post. It’ll truly give you some insight to what weird stuff my daughter has licked, chewed on, and otherwise completely grossed me out with.
For whatever reason, I mentally blocked the grossest, most barf-worthy thing she has put in her mouth.
Ya know how you forget certain experiences until something sparks your memory? That happened this morning.
Lily is very interested in colors lately. Well, sitting in the garbage can was a purple wrapper. She lifted it up and said, “Gween, ye-yow!”
“Good try! It’s purple!” I grinned. “Now, let’s wash your hands. We don’t pick things up out of the yucky garbage.”
Can you see where this story is going?
Suddenly, as though mental trauma were resurfacing, a memory flashed.
Lily on the floor of my bathroom.
Lily, in front of a pulled-over garbage can.
Lily, with a very used, very soaked through…
Tampon.
In. Her. Mouth.
You see, that purple wrapper she picked up this morning was a tampon wrapper, thus the memory flashback.
I told you it was gross!
