Tale of two stories

On the way out to take pictures with Santa tonight - cross that off my list - my daughter turned to me and said,

"Oh Mommy, guess what? Ken at school has a brother Sam and a step-brother Aaron. I did not know that you can have step-brothers - so we should get a step-brother, too!"

What I wanted to say was, "If your father keeps pulling the covers off of Mommy at night, there's a good chance you might have a step-brother some day" but I refrained.

=================================================
After our visit with Santa I noticed my son's bottom lip area is getting really chapped. I told him we'd have to put some lotion or chapstick on it when we get home. He said,

"It's okay Mommy. Miss Jenn puts gas on it at school."

Me: "Gas?"

Him: "Yup. Gasoline."

You guessed it - his interpretation of Vaseline.

LOL on both of those. Gasoline! You'd better watch him when you get near a pump!

Yikes!

Sadly, I know what you mean. My middle daughters lip gets soooo chapped this time of year. I have a standing order with the nurse and her teacher's that she visits after lunch every day. If she missed even one day (despite me treating it at home as well) you can tell.
