My Pacifier Story...
March 22nd, 2009

Now everyone has their views about kids with pacifiers or as we called them binky’s. I have three wonderful kids, most days. I always feel that watching a child grow I would have plenty of material to become a stand up comic. Things they do with the slightest spin in my eyes are the funniest things I have ever seen.

I remember the the time we were weaning the twins off the binky’s and we were sort on unconventional as first it wasn’t outside the bed, then the house, etc, etc, etc. So I so recall a great spring day that kids when they were about three, were outside and playing and running around. However every so often would run in the house. I had no idea what they were doing. My wife told. “Oh they run into the house to suck on their binky’s", take a few sucks, puffs, drags, (call it what you want) off the binky, and then run back out the the back yard to play. This went one three or four times in the next hour.

So Im thinking about this and wondering what happened with this situation at preschool. I can almost picture it, they are finger painting or something at the school, sweating from no having the binky, and some 4 year in a long coat, says I got want you want. While the teacher isn't looking, says hey kid (he actually say.. Hey Kid), I got what you want.

He leads them behind the slide, opens he coat and one side has 23 different binkys of sizes and shapes and offer them that need boost to continue finger painting for the next few minutes.

Of course my boys want more, the ask the kid for another hit and the kid says sure. but it will cost ya. have any goldfish? My boy happily hands over a bag of those the baked not fried treats and and gets what he needs, but over time the prices get higher, more crackers, cheese sticks, stuffed animals, you know where Im going.

Yes Im sure it happened that way. ...

Thanks for reading and as always I would love to know your thoughts.
