I’m glad that we’re transitioning from crawling to walking. I know I’ve heard that benefits of crawling include cross-brain coordination via the corpus callosum blah, blah, blah. We’ve done enough of that. (We can’t allow him to be too intelligent. He’ll get made fun of at school. Besides, I need to keep the upper hand.) In fact, we’ve done so much crawling that now Worm’s body is faster than his brain!
The other day I saw Worm galloping his way across the kitchen floor with smoke spewing out of his ears from brain overload. All of a sudden, limbs were flying every which way and “THUD!”. Worm’s lips had kissed the floor…a little too passionately.
His upper lip started bleeding and swelling up, so we did what any parent would do in a situation like this. We gave Worm a bath. (Ok, it was to cool his little brain down from overheating. Jeez, so we didn’t know what to do and bathing him was the first thing that came to mind! Stop judging us! We’re new at this!)
I know what could remedy this situation!
And of course, the miracle medicine that fixes all health problems….warm and fresh from the tap…bath water!
Drinking bath water heals cancer, raises the dead, and reduces swollen lips from disaster!
The USDA recommends 8-12oz of bath water daily for clear, healthy skin!
Worm, is this a sign that you should spend more time upright? Your lips are so luscious now! Very Angelina Jolie-esque! I hope you didn’t knock too many brain cells loose.
