Q-tips are for knees

I was sitting on the floor against our couch one evening this week when Madeleine came over to me with a Q-tip.  She started gently rubbing my knee with it.  I thought it was odd, but didn't think too much about it.   Later, when I saw her rubbing Mom's knee, I thought, "Why is she rubbing our knees with Q-t....."

Oh yeah.  A few weeks ago when she first found them, Christy astutely said, "I don't want her to know what you really do with Q-tips."  I agreed, imagining her shoving them in her ears and nose (or worse: my ears and nose while I was sleeping).  So we quickly showed her that Q-tips are for rubbing our knees.

We are great parents.
