Here's a conversation I overheard today at the checkout line at Home Depot. We had been there for a long time, there was a long line, the cashier was taking her sweet time, and I was getting a little fussy
Cashier: Hmmm. That's why I always used a pacifier with my kids. It really helped and kept them from getting so upset.
Mama: Yeah.
Cashier: You should try it.
Mama: Oh, we have. He doesn't want it. He just spits them right out.
Cashier: Oh, put honey on it. If you put honey on it, and then just stick it in his mouth, he'll take it.
Mama: Mmm.
Cashier: No really. That's what I did for my kids and it really worked.
Mama: Ummm.
For those who don't know why this is so ridiculous (other than the Home Depot cashier butting in to our business in the first place), click here.
Oh, and we saw the movie All Aboard today, about the R Family cruises, I sooooo want to go on one (and so do my mommies!)

I know a kid who got infant botulism when her well-meaning but clueless father gave her honey. It was Not Good. She's fine now, but the whole situation was terrifying for her poor parents.
We came thisclose to accidentally giving Nell honeyed carrots that my Mom had made for dinner one night a few weeks ago. A bullet well dodged. Whew.
