A Slippery Situation

Some of you may remember a little story that I told about Mackenzie and a little experience with Vick's Vapor Rub. Well, the story goes......

Kenzie was upstairs in her room supposedly finishing a nap when I hear her call for me. "Mom! Mom. Where are you?" So I quickly run upstairs to get her from her room. As I reach the top of the stairs I hear her yelling something that I can't quite understand. Curious, I quicken my pace and get to her room. As I open her door, I suddenly realize what she had just yelled as she repeated herself. "Mom I got Vick's!" There she is. Standing on her bead. Covered in globs of Vick's rub. It's in her hair. All over her face and chest. She even managed to remember that her legs where partially exposed and that too was covered in the Vaseline like rub. You can imagine what was going through my mind at this verry instant. How was I ever going to get her clean? Well, it took about a week and a half of bathing a few times a day to completely get the stuff out. Let's just say that we have moved the Vick's to a safer location.

The picture doesn't quite do the situation justice, but it's all we got. There are actual peanut sized globs of Vick's on her face. And if you look at her shirt, you'll see that it is completely saturated. Good job Kenzie. If you are going to do something, you might as well do it all the way. At least she smelled nice for a while.
