This blog is a collection of what goes through the mind of a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a lawyer (not your lawyer), and a storyteller, all competing for attention in my head.
The golden rule applies here.

Things I never thought I'd say
To my daughter: "Don't eat that stick of butter!" To my toddler: "Don't lick the computer!" To the boy: "flowers aren't food" To my wife: "Carpet shampooer is funny!"

Your Uncle Steve licked everything. I remember your Grandma B taking groceries out of the bags, and my little brother had to lick the watermelon, the cans, the potatos...
And according to the same Grandma (my mother, and my dad), I always enjoyed a nice snack of butter.
Oh, some flowers are edible. Pansies and roses both have edible blossoms. Dandelions become wine. Just so you know. Of course, if you tell him this, he'll never let you forget it. And car-pet shampooer is one of the worst groaners......

Your children may come by these things honestly.

Very cute post, Steve. You've inspired me now - uh oh. One should NEVER go and do that. :)
Unsurprising, I guess, that the baby boom generation saw a book and a movie entitled, "Please don't eat the daisies."
