Coodie Bugs

Well, about a year ago a little Kindergarten Boy kissed Tori on the lips. She was of course horrified... (and probably a little delighted)... this was around October when the weather was changing. She had some dry skin and was itching like crazy. She told me that a boy kissed her on the lips when she came home from school and I informed her that she shouldn't let boys do that. I told Brad later that day when he was on his way home from work. Tori was itching her dry skin at dinner time and complaining about it and asked why she was so itchy. Brad, as quick thinking as he is, said, "Oh No, do you have the Coodie Bugs?" She looked at him confused and said "What's the Coodie Bugs?" And he replied, "Did a boy kiss you?" Her eyes got big and surprised that he would know that since he just got home. She sheepishly said, "yes." And Brad said, "UH OH, when a boy kisses you, you get the coodie bugs, and it makes you itch!" She was determined to never kiss a boy again...

Continuation of story...

Abbie informed Tori that a boy kissed her on the lips about 3 weeks ago and this is how it went:

Abbie: "A boy kissed me."
Tori: "What? Where?"
Abbie: "On the lips."
Tori: "Oh no, you must have the coodie bugs, are you itchy?"
Abbie: "No."
Tori: "Oh, you just wait, you'll be itching soon. That's bad Abbie, you can't let boys kiss you on the lips because you'll get coodie bugs."


So apparently Coodie Bugs are just as real as... Santa Claus... and the Tooth Fairy ;)
