Tampons Can Make All Your Wishes Come True



This is the conversation I had with Lucy yesterday that explains why I keep finding tampons in the potted plants.



Lucy: Mommy, you were a Grumble Fish yesterday.


Kim: Yes, I was wasn’t I? Do you know why I was a Grumble Fish?


Lucy: Because you had your period and your period makes you Grumble-Fishy.


Kim: Yes, that’s right. Sometimes it does. I'm sorry about that. You know I love you and am proud of you even when I'm a Grumble Fish, right?


Lucy: I know...Did you use me and Edie’s magic wands?


Kim: Yes, they are called tampons. And no, they aren’t technically magic wands.


Lucy: Yes, yes, y-y-yes they are. Me and Edie are fairies with them. We go “pop” on her head and we m-m-make a wish.


Kim: My tampons make wishes come true?


Lucy: Yes, they’re magic.


Kim: Magic tampons.


Lucy: I like to throw them high in the sky and hit the clouds.


Kim: I guess that explains why we have a tampon clinging to the leaves of our ficus.


Lucy: It reached the sky.


Kim: I see.


Lucy: Can we have twins now?


Kim: (I choke on my tongue)


Lucy: I'll wish for it with my magic wand.


(I hand her the tampon from the ficus and she goes skipping into her bedroom. I hear her "popping" Edie on the head and instructing her to wish for twin baby sisters.)


Damn those magic tampons.





As I'm sitting here now writing this, I see an unwrapped tampon sticking out of the stereo speaker. Note to self: Put tampon box up on high shelf.


And yes, for those people who can read between the lines, after a period of nearly two years of continuous breastfeeding, we are officially back in the baby-making business. And still breastfeeding.


Someone throw confetti. My husband’s going to be having a lot more of the sex.

I have three cousins with born within 34 months of their mother's marriage. Breast feeding doesn't work, nor does the rythym method.

You are very brave. Loved the post. I think I should keep my comments on sex and your DH to myself LOL

Yay! Good luck with babymaking. Better not let Lucy know that women are capable of making more than 2 babies at once, or the Tampon Fairy will have you birthing sextuplets.

One of my Mom's friends heard a weird clicking sound when her 4 year old son was playing the piano. She found him playing chopsticks with tampon applicators (fished from the garbage) on his fingers.

My baby-making days are done. Five is pretty good, I think. If the tampon fairy stops by here I'll send her over your way.

So thrilled and you didn't have to wrench the nipple from Edie's mouth after all! I was wondering why I hadn't heard from you about weaning advice!

This is the first time I've read you, and lady, you are a hoot!

Thanks for the giggles, I'll be back for more. Good luck with the tampon fairy!
