Mrs. Burgo, I Salute You

Tuesday November 18, 2008
So, you know how your toddler has a sixth sense that detects when you get on the phone? And then, no matter how happily she was playing or sleeping before, she won't leave you alone for even a moment while you're on that call? And you know how your toddler hates to get her face washed? What would happen if you put the two together? Peace at last?

I aspire to the level of genius of Mrs. Burgo. Think of how many other places where this tip would work. The possibilities are endless. You could just carry a wet washcloth around with you and any time you are feeling like you need some me time or you're feeling a little touched out just grab the washcloth. I'm envisioning a line of clothes for moms with vinyl lined pockets for holding washcloths. Hmmm...

I love that another commenter is going to use this idea on her two teenagers. Greatness.
