At play gym the other day with Sam and his leaky nose. Far away from the stroller, where the tissues are.
Ugh..you know you’re a mom when you think,
‘I’ll just use the inside of my cardi to wipe his nose. It’ll dry up and no one will notice. But, still a bit disgusted with the whole scene, you justify it. “This is what moms do!’
A badge of honour, I say.
Maybe.
I told my sister-in-law about Sam’s leaky nose and how I dealt with it on that day (see ‘Leaky Nose‘ blurb). Having raised 4 kids I thought for sure she had done the same. I thought wrong.
She was better prepared. Tissues stuffed up her sleeves and in every pocket was her game. So being the ever-present student that I am, I tried this. Once.
Have you ever opened the dryer and seen white bits of tissue everywhere?
Oh, I’ll never get it right, never! (me banging my head on a piano)
Just kidding. But tissue fallout is a b&*tch.
