10 things you don't want to hear from your child's playdate
Playdates are important since they are a good way to help kids learn how to share and develop interpersonal skills. There are, however, some things you never want to hear your child's playmate say while at your house.

1. I have head lice. Let's play hair salon.
2. I brought my gerbils so we can let them run around.
3. I just got my ears pierced so I know how to pierce yours if you want.
4. Can we build a fort using anything in the house?
5. Does your Mom let you mix a bunch of things together and then bake it in the real oven? Mine does.
6. Do you want to see me juggle those candles?
7. My Mom says I can eat the cream cheese out of the container using just my fingers and I don't need a bagel.
8. Let's play in the swimming pool hole.
9. I know how to pour my own juice.
10. My Mom says I can stay for dinner.

i like the "want to see me juggle those candles one" that line always makes me laugh
these one's don't scare me that much. like none of those are really serious
if it was something like sexual or swearing or anything like that it would be bad. a finger in the creame cheese really isn't that big of a deal. that's why kids end up way too timid because parents freak out over harmless things when they're just having fun

Being a Smurfs fan, I find that one pricess--harmless but time consuming for the poor parents scrubbing it off. The lice incident however, yikes!!!!!

Too true! what about "Let's pretend we are the Smurfs, and colour ourselves blue all over using permanent marker!"
Took FOREVER to wear off

Believe it or not, I have had kids over only to find out after they left that they had head lice - the parents thought that since they had taken the kids swimming before they came over, the head lice would be gone! (If only it was that easy to get rid of head lice.)
