Another "kids say the darndest things" story
I knew my monthly visitor was on the way before I went in for surgery but forgot to pack tampons to bring with. Well of course the hospital only had huge diaper sized pads and I HATE those things. Well, my sister and nephew came to visit me one evening and my sister was a dear and when hunting around the bathrooms for tampon machines. I'm not sure what my sister told my nephew they were looking for but when they got back, he exclaimed "Auntie Karin, we went looking for TANNING machines."
At Christmas season, years ago now, I had my 6 year old daughter in the mall restroom. Of course we were in a long line! My daughter noticed the machine on the wall and asked what's that? EVERYONE turned to look at me and I just said 'I'll tell you in about 10 years'. She was happy with that, for once!!

one day aunt flo had just came to visit and i had just bought a brandnew box of tampons,i went to the store and left the kids with DH....when i walked in the door,they ran to me with tamons on their wrists and said...mommy,mommy,do you like my charm bracelet? i thought i would die i laughed so hard.
One Wednesday evening a friend and I were in charge of the preschoolers at church. One little girl was upset because she couldn't find her Sponge Bob toy. She kept looking in her pockets and saying I can't find Sponge Bob. Later in the evening she yells out, "Here's Sponge Bob, I found Sponge Bob!" and there in her hand is an open tampon. The other lady and I nearly died laughing. When her mom got there she thought it was funny too until she looked closer and realized it did not come from her home and we don't have them at church. We never found out where she got it.
