Every now and then I realize Mr Music gets it. He really does. He understands when he's done something he shouldn't have.
He tends to get a pesky bit of spring allergies. But tonight it was much worse than the norm, eyes watering and red, etc, and I commented that I had picked up some medicine for him at the store and would give it to him in the morning.
At which point he shared with me, "Well, my nose still smells like pepper from smelling that pepper stuff."
"What pepper stuff?" I ask, thinking he must have been sniffing the hot sauce or the green pepper in the fridge or did he sniff black pepper to try to make himself sneeze or is he so uneducated about flowers he thinks the lilac or bleeding hearts I cut and set on the table are some sort of pepper.
"You know," he says, failing to make eye contact. "The kind in the closet by the door for spraying on bad guys."
Oh. That pepper stuff. "Did you spray it?" I ask, beginning to understand the watering eyes and whatnot.
RYC ... no they were very serious about those tags!! I didn't want to ask because when I did start to bring it up, our guide was very serious saying, " you know they wouldn't want to try to operate these things with the plane sitting here" .... oookaaaayyy!
He "may" have to learn it a couple more times for it to sink in! I have learned that from watching my own boys!!!!! You know the old "ok, if it hurt the first time, why did you do it again?" thing. Reminds me of the time my dear oldest son had the can of compressed air (for cleaning electronics).........oh yeah, sometimes they doing things more than once and you just have to say to yourself "why?"!!!
My eyes are watering for a whole other reason now! That was waaaaaaaay too funny! I can expect the same kind of thing here someday, I'm sure. Now, I ask myself, should I tell the kids about this story so we circumvent the whole experience? *sigh*
Ohhhhhhhh, this is still too funny! I shouldn't be laughing at his misfortune, but...
There's a reason G-man has a shirt that says "It seemed like a good idea at the time".
He'd "MAY have" been right there pushing the button on the pepper. *LOL*1
