I should know by now...

That leaving a jar of honey on the table is asking for trouble. How long have I been a mom? 2,105 days. (YES, I figured it out.) I should know better.

DUH. If your children tell you they're hungry (for the 100th time today) and you deny them a snack (because they JUST ATE LUNCH FOR GOODNESS SAKES!!) then you leave a jar of honey on the table, its only a matter of time (in this case, about 45 minutes) before the child comes running to you crying that she's all sticky. Because of course she tried to drink the honey from the jar. And of course it spilled down the front of her shirt and pants. Guess what happens when you remove the shirt? Her hair becomes full of honey too. Guess what happens when bath night isn't scheduled for another 2 nights? Shelly's hair stays sticky. But it sure smells nice and sweet!

(Ok, I'll probably give her a bath tonight cause I don't want to get her pillow and sheets sticky, and the furniture, and anything else she touches. But really, I'm tempted to just let it be sticky.)
