The other morning I was rushing to get out the door. The kids were dressed, diaper bag packed, shoes on, and I thought "Hey I should put the sunblock on the kids now so I don't have to take it with me." I grab it spray down Liam's arms and legs, then tell him to close his eyes while I spray his face. (I don't normally do this, I usually spray it in my hands then rub it on his face so I can avoid getting it in their eyes, but I was in a hurry and thought it would be fine.) He closes his eyes and as soon as he hears the spray sound he opens them and looks straight at the spray.
enter SCREAMING HYSTERICAL FIT!!!! (For good reason. It hurts when you get sunblock in your eyes, and I imagine even worse when it's a direct shot.)
So I have to hold a wet cloth on it until the stinging stops. (I'm now late.)
Scramble to get the kids in the car, am driving down the street, the tears have stopped and it seems the incident has been all but forgotten when I hear Liam say: "Mom if you spray sunblock in my eyes again, I'm going to call the police man."
OUCH...
ME: "Buddy why are you going to call the police man?"
LIAM: "Well because you hurt me and he will give you a ticket, cause you did something bad."
ME: " I didn't do it on purpose. It was an accident. Mommy would NEVER hurt you on purpose. I love you and it makes me sad when you get hurt; or are sad. I would be sad if you called the police man."
LIAM: "Well, then I'll call him if you do it on purpose next time."
Agreed.

Yes, if you do it on purpose, I too will call the police. :-) Bad mommy! Ha. Liam's funny. He can marry Dora.
