      Magical cleaning gels that make bubbly foam which you’re “not supposed to eat” because they’re “bad for you”? Could there be a more perfect potion base?

      I made them in the cauldron (toilet). Included bath bombs and baby powder and shaving cream and whatever else seemed flushable.

        I used my grandma’s antique (or antique looking) glass decoration. They looked like really fancy potion bottles, and were just gathering dust! unacceptable

      So did my then five year old. She had a period where she went through an entire hand soap dispenser every two days until we got her to quit. She still uses shampoo, but as far as we can tell, only (mostly?) when we give her permission. It doesn’t run out super fast.

      I made a potion, and then in a moment of blinding stupidity, managed to pour it into my eyes. I never made a potion again after that :(

          I only done that one time.

          Spent some time thinking it was gonna burn forever, too embarrassed to take my fear to my parents.

          It was really nice until it made its way into the hole.

          Side story though, my older cousin had friends over from college to stay for the weekend. Her brother and I were told to stay out of the way and avoid making messes. Well, he left his clothes in the bathroom floor, my uncle said, “That’s strike one.” He then left food out on the counter and didn’t clean up a spill, “That’s strike two.” And finally, he kept going out trying to embarrass his sister. My uncle walked out of the bathroom with two empty pink baby lotion bottles that he found hidden under the sink and said, “You know, for someone who isn’t a baby, you sure do go through the baby lotion. You’re probably softer than a newborn lamb.”

          My uncle is such a serious guy that no one could tell immediately if he was saying what it sounded like he was saying haha. They all just looked at each other with bewildered smiles.

          Later that night my cousin said, “Dad, you made it sound like I jerk off all the time or something.”

          My uncle said, “Well, what did you think I was trying to make it sound like? You stayed in your room after that, didn’t you?”

    I was not expecting these levels of wholesome and nostalgia so early in the day for me.

      Everyone talking about how wholesome and relatable this is and you’re over here with a stick of deodorant making choices.

      Rub on deodorant is supposed to work by filling in your pores to stop sweat so i wonder what it would do to hair

    Dam, my kid did the same thing… except my wife basically let him without even trying to tell him this is not ok. I remember a few months I was buying the big Costco size ones, and they were gone within the week. I was really upset just because of how dam expensive it is! Not looking to spend $40-$50 a month on the same shampoo was my only goal. Plus, we have septic, so I was starting to get nervous about that as well. Our other kid is almost 2. I guess I have this to look forward to again in a few years…

    My ex was on the verge of ending our daughter because of this haha.

    Little bottles with gooey mixtures everywhere, soap covered doorknobs, and of course, no shampoo or conditioner to be found.
