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!

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
