You guys, most of those chapters are my sister's!
The gerbils had mites - she had to treat her kids, herself and have the house treated. An entomologist at The Ohio State University was consulted by her exterminator. The houses needed to be treated twice. Says she'd rather deal with lice any day.
The noodles were a mother -daughter bonding thing, Her daughter (then 3) ended
throwing my sis's wedding ring and engagement ring in the disposal - running. My dad walked my sister through removing the pipe under the sink, flushing the pipe and believe it or not salvaging all the diamonds! The rings themselves were trashed. My sister was making the noodles for a chicken noodle soup my grandma made - she was making it for my dad's birthday.
Chelle: We think we'll have several chapters on things you never thought you'd say: One things you've said in public, another general things, and one involving body parts.
Thanks to a friend, we'll have a whole chapter on babysitters. One of our friends had a very interesting babysitter. She was an older lady. She once asked to be paid in toilet paper and change. (Wth?)
I think every parent should keep a note book handy to write down the funny stuff kids say and the little things/stories. You DO forget them. We were trying last week to remember what DS#2 called his first "lovey" - it was Ugly. No idea why he called it Ugly, but he did. We still wonder what he was really trying to say - but it quickly became Ugly because that's what it sounded like.
