Kid puts anything found on the sidewalk in its mout

[cosmicB]

I'm visiting my single mom sister... Into the house they come.. my sister complaining that her kid has a candy in her mouth, which she found on the sidewalk.. and she bit her finger hard when she tried to get the candy out of her mouth.. and would I do something about it..?

I thinks a moment...
"I hear you found a candy.. and put it in your mouth."..

"I know what your trying to do.. and it's not going to work!.. You aren't getting my candy!"..

"That's cool.. I don't want your candy.. I know what was was on it..."

"There wasn't anything on it!"..

"Ohh..? Maybe not something you could see.. but something real real tiny, that you couldn't see was on it... like a teensy weensie little bug city.. with little bug streets, and tiny bug houses... And little bug cars, and trees, and over there was a little bug playing in the little bug sandbox, with little bug scoops and a little bug's sand pail.. and you ate that little bug, and all its little bug toys, and even the little bug's sandbox...
And you ate their little bug car.. and the little bugs playing baseball.. and the little bug's baseball and bat... and you ate all their little bug houses...
You ate all the little bugs sitting on the rug playing video games... Not even a one got away... You ate the whole little bug living room, and the tv, and the video game... And you ate the whole kitchen.. and the fridge and the stove."..

"It wasn't on!"..

"Of course it wasn't on.. You wouldn't be that silly to eat a stove that was on... Everybody ate an hour ago, so the stove was all off..
And there was a little bug having a bath, and playing with its rubber ducky, and you ate the whole bath tub, and the rubber ducky, and the little bug.. and you ate the... Oh No.. Didn't you look into the toilet before you ate it?.. Oh I think I'm gonna be Sick... You ate the... Oh I feel sick!.. A little bug forgot to flush toilet.".. (I made a super sour lemony face)... Zip!.. Out came that candy to the floor faster than I can see...
And there she was with a bitter lemony sour face, and rushing to look into her mouth in the mirror, while her mum was getting ready the kiddy toothbrush and toothpaste... She brushed twice... then had mum check her mouth with a flashlight... Mum gave the mouth a clean bill of health...

I can't explain exactly why, but I don't believe it.

I don't believe any of it.

It's not even close to being true.

Just my opinion.

Yes.. I can see how it could be extremely controversial for a few minds...

I'll simplify it some, to make it easier to assimilate...


My sister's kid found a dirty candy on the street.
She put the dirty candy into her mouth.
The kid bit my sister's finger when my sister tried to remove the dirty candy from the kid's mouth.
My sister and her kid arrived home a few minutes later.
My sister asked if I could do anything about it.
I thought a moment.
I came up with a story that the kid could get into.
Near the end of the story I suggested that there was poop on the candy. The kid spit out the candy.
The kid wanted to brush her teeth.
The kid brushed her teeth twice.
The kid was concerned that there might still be poop in her mouth, so my sister inspected the kid's mouth with a light, and told the kid that her mouth seemed clean and ok...

What is so difficult to grasp in that?..

Or.. do you mean that there you don't believe there was a bug city on the candy..?
Can you prove there aren't "bug cities on dirty candies"?..
Ok.. I know I made it up a little, to fill a gap... Candy bug families don't really have rubber duckies.. they have rubber bugglies...


So do you eat candies off the sidewalks..?


Science recently proved there are nearly a quarter million tiny different species in a tablespoon of jungle dirt... And some of them just might be bugglies...

Moral of story.. Wash your food before putting it in your mouth.. cuz there might be germs on a candy you found on the sidewalk... And some germs can make you sick...

Do you believe there are germs in the dirt?..

sounds dodgy

Well, if that was the situation happened to me I would do the following:

a) Take the candy away from them,
b) If bitten, still continue to remove the candy until successful,
c) Discipline the child,
d) When home make sure the child's mouth was rinsed out.

I think the idea of a story was a little elaborate.

Under no circumstances would I have let the child go undisciplined. But I suppose that's the difference between females and males.

Child abuse is a crime.

I do not like the idea of lying to children, but sometimes a gross exaggeration may be needed to coax the desired behaviour. Good work.
