    But what if the little angel decided to apply the same theory on a scenario that puts us in the hot seat?

    “Blankie is not going away”- you meant “blinky” right? And you are correct I am definitely here!

    “Blankie” is not good for the kid to walk around with forever.Mommy needs to look good in case she needs to send her photo to anyone!!Just kidding,but Mommy’s wig(if that kinda money was already spent anyway)is necessary to cover Mommy’s hair.

    BUT,YOU ARE RIGHT,EACH OF US HAS PROBABLY DEVELOPED ONE “DOUBLE STANDARD” OR ANOTHER…If I have to tell my child to stop doing something I unfortunately slip up in myself,I do say,”I’m working on this too.We are all working on this.”

    Ok i was just having fun!

    Now back to being serious regarding “blankie” why can’t it be blanket? In my house my parents tried to say the correct word so that we will learn it correctly (with the exception of “botty”) but it was never blankie!

    One of the best parts of having kids is the excuse of talking like a moron for 2.5 years!

    Im not sure the 2.5 years always correlates with when the baby was born…

    Or how about you hit your kid because he is misbehaving.

    The next day, his sister is crying, and he wallops her a good one! Or maybe he is upset at you, so he throws a punch.

    Or maybe, 50 years later, when you are not eating your mashed potatoes, he slaps you.

    Sorry, you just don’t understand; there is a vast difference between a “blanket” (which can be used as a doormat when the kid outgrows it) and a “blankie” (which becomes a part of you that you just cannot give up)

    How do I know this? My taybay (that’s teddybear for you adults) told me so!

    Ok putting the “blankie” thing on hold heres one- When your kids are hungry after supper you say take a fruit…yet when YOU are hungry after dinner and your not so keen on apples you find yourself heading to the nosh cabinet…

    Our nosh cabinet only HAS apples.

    OK, for real. They can have nosh, as long as they have (or have had) a fruit within an hour or so to balance out.

    Same rule applies to us adults, but its self-enforced.

    bp totty you know why you give your kids the apples and for the adults the nosh closet? because you want your kids to grow right with the right nutrition, and the adults….. they have grown right already!!
