This morning, just as the boys were making their way to the bus, Ollie decided to stop at the flag pole and see what would happen if he licked it. I suppose every child has to perform this experiment at least once in their life time. Camilla did the same thing with the frosty metal on the school bus window around this age...
Minutes before the bus was scheduled to arrive at our stop, he came running in with blood dripping from his tongue. A few of his siblings thought that he had removed the brown paint from the flag pole as there was now a white patch where his tongue had been. I laughed and explained that the white patch was, in fact, the skin of his tongue that was left behind when he hastily removed it himself after it was stuck. I've never seen so much blood! But the boy was brave and, after cleaning himself up, ran and made it to the bus stop just in time. I am quite certain he won't try that again!
