Tampon Thief- April 11, 2012
The other day I made the Rookie Mom mistake of leaving my bag from the drugstore in the backseat next to Charlotte’s car seat. When she grew tired of her toys, naturally her toddler curiosity got the better of her and she grabbed something from the bag. I heard her ripping and tearing paper and said in my newly acquired Mom-Warning-Voice, “Charlotte! What are you doing?” At the stoplight I glanced back to see what she had and stifled my laughs.
From the passenger seat Greyson says, “What does she have?” “Tampons,” I reply.
He asked with male revulsion, “What!? Can that hurt her?!” I assured him cardboard and cotton was not as harmful as other pharmaceuticals that could be in that bag.
Greyson is not the type of man to be fearful of feminine hygiene products and would pick up a box if I needed them, but his baby girl playing with tampons was just too much for him. I laughed and said, “Yep Charlotte. You probably won’t need those for another 11 or 12 years.” Greyson shook his head and said, “Oh God! I don’t even want to think about it.”
As I giggled and removed cotton tufts from her clothes I took a moment to relish toddlerhood because everyone says puberty will be here before we know it.

LOL! This is so funny! I was reading your UBP12 post and couldn’t help but notice the title of this one! It does go fast (from a mom who has a newly minted teen girl).
