my daughter was out playing with the neighbours kids in the cul de sac and I called her over to put more sun tan lotion on. She was 3, the other kids between 3 and 5.
the other kids ran over with her, and lined up behind her, obvs thinking they all had to get it on, as I’d jist shouted, without thinking, come and get your sun tan lotion on and didn’t say her name. There was 5 of them in total. The other parents were all out and doing stuff in their gardens as the kids played and keeping an eye out, and smiled over, as it was very sweet.
i was happy to oblige, sat on my front door step and started lathering the kids up, and one little kid in the queue started taking his clothes off. When he took his pants down to his ankles to take them off, I said whoa, what are you doing, quite shocked. He said “my mummy always puts my suntan lotion on when I’m naked”. I responded “I’m not your mummy, pull your pants up,”
he looked very confused as he pulled them up , and the parents were all cracking up.😂
