Hey Mac Families,
Why are kids so averse to brushing their teeth?
This is a question that I ask on the daily. I would absolutely lose it if I had to deal with the fuzziness of unbrushed teeth. And the amount of time spent arguing and faking the sounds of brushing is definitely longer than the act of actually brushing itself would take. The kicker? They get praised for great brushing at the dentist. Every time.
Why are there no spoons in my silverware drawer? Or my dishwasher? Like ever?
I have purchased more spoons in my lifetime than a soup store. (Is that a thing? Well, if it was, I definitely beat them in spoon buying.) Yet, we never seem to have them. The other day I found no less than 27 spoons under my son's bed. All I can do is shake my head.
Why did I find 18 banana fingers under the pedestal of my kitchen table?
First, let's address the definition of a banana finger. They are the dried up remains of a half of a banana. They look like witch or skeleton fingers. There were 18 under my table, because my daughter apparently decided that she didn't like bananas. Clearly, the trash can was not accepting bananas. It didn't occur to her to just tell me that she didn't like bananas?
Why can't socks make it into the hamper?
I'm pretty convinced that my kids learned this behavior from my husband, because he STILL leaves a trail of socks around the living room. I have several questions about this, starting with why they feel the need to remove their socks as soon as they set foot in the house. I wear my socks until I go to bed. No removal on my end.
That concludes my list of pressing questions from parents. Got any weird things that you'd like to address? Email me!
Peace ☮️, Love ❤️, & Macaroni 🌼,
Christen
