OMG! I laughed at Jeri's tooth story until tears rolled down my cheeks! And was hysterical with all the rest. Thank goodness for this vivid imagination! hehe
I must tell you that my oldest daughter learned to talk rather early, and this happened when she was about two. One day, I was in the bathroom and the phone rang. I could hear her pick up the phone and say, Hello. Following that, she murmurred something like, 'She can't come to the phone - she's going potty.' Apparently, that didn't satisfy the caller, because she said, 'I said, she's going potty!' Still not being satisfied, she repeated it at a very high pitched yell! Of course, all this time, I'm struggling to get myself to the phone.... When I finally grabbed the phone out of her hand, I was laughing so hard, I couldn't talk to the caller, who happened to be a businessman, so I snickeringly asked him to call back a little later and hung up. Ah, children!!
Please, please don't let this wonderful thread die. The true stories are the funniest! Many Hugs, Kada
