I just brushed my teeth with diaper cream!

[ranthony]

DS 4 has been down with an intestinal thing for the past 2 days. Every time I think he's getting better and offer him toast or crackers I end up having to clean up the mess.

His poor little bottom is so sore from all the wiping that he's gotten a rash. I have an old tube of Butt Paste diaper cream that is left over from the diaper days so I've been putting that on him.

Well...needless to say...I'm exhausted (and he is too)! After the second night of very little sleep I woke up this morning and put the Butt Paste on my toothbrush and started to brush.

What's even more shocking is that the tube of Butt Paste is bright yellow and the actual cream is a tan color. My toothpaste tube is blue and the toothpaste is light blue. I looked right at the tan "toothpaste" as I was loading my toothbrush and I still proceded to try to brush my teeth with it!

I decided that this is one of those 'you've just got to laugh about it or you'll cry' moments! Motherhood...Oh the joys!

Hope he's feeling better and you get some rest soon. At least you still have your sense of humor!

Bless your heart!!!! I hope your little one starts to feel better soon.

I can honestly see myself doing the same thing if I was that sleep deprived. LOL

Sounds like a classic 'Mom Moment' that you will certainly remember and laugh about in the years to come!!

This would be a great Orbits gum commercial -- "Dirty Mouth?"

 

[BuzzSaw]

That's too funny! How did it taste?

 

[verlee]

Thanks for the laugh.

YUCK!!!!! I hope your son is better. Well, if it's any consolation, I can tell you that I know you won't die from it. I know this because when DD was around 6 months old, DH accidently left a jar of the stuff in her crib and walked away. When I came in just a minute or two later, her whole body was covered in the stuff and it was all over her mouth and she had her hands in her mouth. We panicked and called poison control and when the guy quit laughing he told us that they get calls on butt paste all the time and she would be fine. Apparently, she did not find it as disgusting as you, because she wasn't even crying when I walked in.

This is something I would totally do I will keep the Butt Paste away from my bathroom sink!!

Well...since you asked...it tasted kind of pastey.

Actually, it was more the texture as opposed to the taste that gave it away.

I've actually sprayed my hair with Lysol spray, thinking it was my hair spray.

I once thought the carton of egg beaters was the creamer for my coffee, boy was that a bad cup of coffee.

 

[Kit'smommy]

I once grabbed my Sea Breeze astringent instead of my travel sized mouthwash. Yuck!

Hope DS gets better soon.
