Carter

Oh my gosh, Carter did the funniest thing tonight. I hope it comes across as funny in text as it did in person. Carter is Mr. Drama. He overplays *everything* and cries at the drop of a hat, usually out of true hurt feelings, but sometimes just to 'play' us. Anyway, his lips get chapped easily so a couple of weeks ago I bought him a strawberry flavored Carmex. He was happy with it and kept it in his pocket, etc. Well, tonight he was putting water on his lips. I asked him what he was doing and he said his lips burned and he was rinsing them. I asked him where his lip stuff was and he said it was in his room but he didn't like it because it burns. I explained to him that the burning/coolness/tingling that he feels when he puts it on is just the medicine working and that if he didn't use it his lips would get worse and would keep burning. I kind of forgot about it and was in my bedroom on the phone. He came in my room looking somewhat shocked, carrying the Carmex, with his eyes about to tear up. He said, while pointing to text, "Mommy, have you read this?"

Keep Out of Reach of Children

Oh my gosh, I about died laughing. I guess he thought at that point that I was trying to poison him. LOL The more I laughed the more hurt he looked. Then he knew I thought he was cute (I could see it in his eyes) and I told him it was okay and sent him back to bed. Oh my gosh, it was so funny! That's my Carter.
