aftershave, men's cologne
The young boy left alone in the bathroom, the aftershave, and the hands to the face while screaming, "Ouch!"...who doesn't remember the famous scene from Home Alone? Funny thing is, I think this happens in most homes with little boys in them! At least it has in mine.
My middle son is my curious one. He loves to know how things work. He's the one that when left alone, I know that I can always find him into something.
One afternoon, I told him to go into the bathroom, take a shower, and get all of the mud off. He'd been outdoors playing in the sand box and decided (on his own) to make a river run through it. I heard the water running. No problem. I heard the water shut off. No problem. After a few minutes, the silence broke with a high pitched yelp. I ran to the bathroom, looking for blood. Nope. No blood. Just the overwhelming smell of my husband's men's cologne. At first I thought he'd sprayed it in his eyes, the way he was holding his face. Only then did I notice the tube of aftershave on the counter. Yep, he'd pulled a Kevin.
