Firecracker Toting Kindergartner

So today at school one of my Kindergarten boys decides to bring a firecracker to school!!!! We were packing bags to go home and he starts showing his firecracker to his friends. I immediately grabed up the "firecracker" and said that I would be keeping it and we don't allow "firecrackers" in kindergarten.

I know by now all of you are wondering why this story is funny.........................

well to a 5 year old a tampon sure looks a whole lot like a firecracker!! Yes, that's right folks. One of my boys had brought a tampon to school, complete with applicator. I suppose the string does look a bit like a "fuse" haha

I sent it home in an envelope with a note for mom to promise to tell him the story of "the time he was in kindergarten and took the tampon to school" when he's about 20 years old :)

Hope you got a good laugh. It sure made my day today!!

Now THAT is hilarious! Oops!

That's about as bad as what my sister did once, when she was about 10 or so. She wanted to buy film for our (the kid's) camera. She saw a dispensing machine outside the pharmacy, which said something about 'thin film', and thought it was film for a camera. When she got home and opened the package, she found long, skinny 'balloons' instead of the film she had expected.

She blew one up, and played outside with it with my little brother, in full view of all the neighbours. They were having a grand time, until my mom looked outside to check on them, and saw that they were happily playing with a blown up CONDOM!

Glad you all got a kick out of it. I think that the best part is that he got it from another little boy. I'm sure this other little boy was like "oh go ahead and take it, we have tons more firecrackers in the bathroom" ! ha Kids are funny! I LOVE them lol

BOTH of those stories had me cracking up!!! Thanks for the laugh this morning, I will make sure to share the stories with my husband and kids, they will get a kick out of it too. Especially my middle child. He used to think it was funny to pop those "things" he found in the bathroom out of the applicator (like a rocket of course) into a sink full of water and watch them swell up. He thought they were like those little sponge animals that they sell in capsules and could never figure out why they didn't make anything. I finally had to take them out of the bathroom, no matter how many times I explained that they were "mommy things" he just didn't understand and they are way too expensive to pop into a sink, lol!

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
