The Bitter Truth

July 8, 2009 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Minnesota Me, My Girls, Parenting 8 Comments

Having been just reminded that our tongues should be a blessing and not a curse, my 4-year-old wiped her mouth and muttered,

“Vinegar tastes like it hates us.”

AMDG,

    Well now that certainly is one way to describe the taste of vinegar. How funny is that?

    *giggles* cute.

    Hmmmm….how does she know that?

    My son when having speech lessons, played a game called either where they had to pick one of two things, sometimes both things being yucky, his were "either soap or dirt" or something like that, anyway, was I embarrassed when he said no way to soap, because he knew what it tasted like…

    Ahhhh those 4 year olds will soon be 5 right? it does get better then right? Maybe not with these particular 4 year olds? I've been saying that since she was 9 months old!!

    gotta love them for their unique personalities…notice my new header picture, of course my 4 year old would not pose on the same rock as the others, she is behind…full of personality!!!

    Hmmm — the vinegar cure totally failed in my house. Here, my kids raised on vinaigrette, pronounced 'yummy dressing' when made to swallow a spoonful of vinegar!

    A spoonful of vinegar can make a child choke terribly. A dab will make him remember not to say that naughty word again. We don't want any chokin yun uns here now do we?

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
