There are times in our lives where I just wonder, “what the hell were you thinking?”…to my husband of course. This man just doesn’t think sometimes, kinda like my animal cracker and the butt incident, he didn’t think our toddler would take his translation so literally.
So we had Mexican food for dinner and my husband’s dish was covered in jalapeno peppers, no big deal, until our little eating machine asked for one. My husband stops her dead in her sticky finger tracks and says, “no, Kaydee, it’s hot!” Who could blame him, peppers are hot right?
Not ten minutes later Kaydee comes running into my bedroom screaming her little head off. She makes a mad dash for the bathroom, leaps onto the step stool and proceeds to douse her face in cold water. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out was going on so I just assumed she got something nasty in her mouth and helped her rinse her mouth out. Then my husband comes running to the bedroom with the evidence….a mangled jalapeno pepper she fished out of the garbage. Going along with the train of thought of a toddler, daddy said the pepper was hot, so waiting ten minutes for it too cool off seemed logical enough.
I feel terrible she had to learn the difference between spicy hot and temperature hot this way.
Her poor face broke out in red burns from the spice of the pepper. She has the most sensitive skin and the rash broke out almost immediately.
About Cat Davis
Poor little monkey
What red face.. all I see is amazing brown eyes and the sweetest curly hair!!!!!!!
Cat,
Okay. Since she’s not seriously hurt, I have to just laugh. I have a younger sister who is also very literal in her thinking. She made (and still does) life quite amusing growing up. Oh what fun we’re going to have at Kaydee’s expense. One thing that is good is the lessons will probably only have to be taught once because she’ll remember her experience.
Yeah, no lasting pains…except tummy ache from all the milk she guzzled after. lol
Oh Cat! Poor baby! Hope the “burns” go away quickly.
Oh owie! Poor Girl!
Yowza. That is some sensitive skin! Was it from contact? Or was that all from tasting it. Poor sweetie.
Poor little girl – she is beautiful though!!
Ouch, poor baby.
Aww, poor baby. I bet she will know the difference between heat hot and spicy hot now. Daddy will have to be more clear on that for her.
Oh no, poor baby! I hope she’s feeling better. I myself won’t touch the things, but my husband will just sit there and eat them. Maybe it’s a macho thing – lol!
♥ Happy Tuesday! ♥
Ha … my husband isn’t feeling so macho anymore. Those peppers gave him a night to remember.
