A to Z Honesty - H is for Hickey

Annnnnnnd here's how the Friday night sleepover went: 

This was on my son's neck when I picked him up Saturday morning.
Apparently he ran into the rare and rabid Eatibus Anythingus Hooverus Vulgaris.

    I think this falls into the category of an "oops." But I'm not sure; mom will decide.

      You could write a horror story featuring deadly Hoovers. OR maybe you could fit one in to your next romance!

    The good thing is, hickies aren't directly responsible for grandbabies named Briana!

    I KNEW this foray into girl/boy land was going to be dangerous. Next time, send him with extra food to share. It might keep the blood suckers away.

    My daughter's friend stopped over one day with a hickey. Noooo! That means my daughter is old enough and I am just not ready to see a hickey on her. Or even think about it.

    Let us all know if the sharing of the photo on the blog prevents it happening again, will you? A whole new parenting idea, perhaps?

    3. Cathy Olliffe-WebsterApril 10, 2012 at 6:48 AM

      Kathy, I think he was actually kinda PROUD of it... he made no attempt at hiding it and only took a little persuading for the photo. I think it's a sign of vast manhood or something... a pagan ritual... or maybe he's just like the honey badger, because honey badgers don't care!
