Kitchen Talk

Conversation in our kitchen last night:

Carys: "Mom, is glue bad for you?"
My girlfriend: "What?"
Carys: "Is glue bad for you?"
Me: "You mean to eat?"
Carys: "Yes."
Me: "Why? Did you eat some?"
Carys: "Yes."
My girlfriend: "Why did you eat glue?"
Carys:  "I just put a little on my finger and then I ate it off."
My girlfriend:  "You mean like the school glue?  That kind won't hurt you."
Carys:  "Oh good."

(Now Garrett enters the conversation...)
Garrett:  "Did you know that if you eat glue or deodorant you have to go straight to the hospital?"
My girlfriend: "Where did you learn that?"
Garrett:  "I read it."
My girlfriend: "Where?"
Garrett:  "On the back of my deodorant."

Saying, on the back of the deodorant, that if you eat deodorant you need to go to the hospital makes perfect sense, but can someone explain why they would also add glue?  And isn't it great that Garrett reads his deodorant before he puts it on (before bed)?  Has anyone else ever read the back of deodorant?

We have the best conversations in our house.
