How did I become the popscicle lady???

[babymakes4]

I think ds must be advertising or something, I just had like 10 kids at my door asking for popscicles. I had to send them all away because I didn't have enough. :( made me feel bad.

[tabatha]

10???????????????????????????

[babymakes4]

10???????????????????????????


there are a TON of kids in this apartment complex.

[tabatha]

So 10 kids just popped my and asked for popcycles? come on..

[babymakes4]

So 10 kids just popped my and asked for popcycles? come on..


Oh yeah, Im so totally lying. WTF?

[tabatha]

Not saying your lying, just can't get my mind to wrap around the fact that 10 kids would just appear at someones door and ask for a popcycle... You have to agree, it does sound, ummm hmmm, odd.

[babymakes4]

ok whatever. my ds is outside playing with all these kids, he may have said "lets go see if my mom has popscicles" or something. Not the oddest thing that has ever happened to me.

[pawprint]

I remember that sort of thing happening in my neighborhood growing up. A band of us would play together in the summer and take turns hitting up people's houses for kool-aid, lol.

[Teresa64]

lol...thats funny...I would feel bad too if I didn't have enough. Kids are great aren't they. I remember doing stuff like that with my friends when I was little. We would try to figure out which mom had the best snack and all head over there after school...

[tabatha]

Well then that would make sense if he did that and he is with them (something i would have stated in the post), but from what i read in your OP is that 10 kids just randomly came to your door and asked for them.

[HammBugga]

I wouldn't feel bad, how would you even know if it was ok with their parents?

[Teresa64]

If they were all at my house with permission from their parents then I would give it to them if it was a decent snack time...but in an apartment complex I would probably have them run home and ask b4 I gave it to them....good point Hamm

did you even read my OP?

[tabatha]

yes

[babymakes4]

alright then. I don't see I was confusing, but whatever.

[crissyy]

Is it so slow on the boards today that there has to be a debate on whether she had 10 kids at the door asking for a popsicle? THAT is what seems odd to me. Not the fact that she did.

[tabatha]

once you said that he was playing outside with them it made sense, and I communicated that to you... end

yeah, no freakin kidding. Jeesh.

[Teresa64]

lol...but it could be ridiculously entertaining...hehehehe

[babymakes4]

not too entertaining since I refuse to engage with this woman over some popscicles. LOL.

[Monkeytoes]

All I would like to know is the flavor of the Popsicles?

[babymakes4]

All I would like to know is the flavor of the Popsicles?


they didn't ask for a certain flavor. There were like 10 kids and I had about 6 bomb pops left. I couldn't just give them out and not have enough for everyone, so I told them I didn't have enough and to come back tomorrow. :hugegrin: I think Im just gonna go buy a huge box of freeze pops.

[HammBugga]

sorry bm4, I agree with tabs, I read your op and thought you meant ten kids randomly came to your door. Yeah you said your ds must be advertising but you weren't clear. You are being rather defensive today.

[babymakes4]

Am I?

[Joyto5]

I understand BM4. I currently have 3 boxes of freezy pops in my freezer for those occasions. Then again, we live right next door to a church where kids play and ask to use our restroom alot. I know most of the kids that ask. My kids will tell the other kids "Hey, my mom will probley let us have some Popcicles. Follow me!

I do set a limit. I will only do it 3 times a summer, and my kids know it. Kids do funny things!

[cc1003]

I don't think you're being defensive at all. I think tabatha's first comment was weird to be honest.

[Suzette]

When i was gowing up, my mom had a lollipop vase. It was a little bud vas with lollipops in it on a shelf by the door. Any kid that would knock on the door would get a lollipop. We lived in a cul-de-sac so my mom knew it was ok with their parents.

[pawprint]

I agree. I knew what you were talking about before I opened the thread actually. And I'm the first to call someone on being an ass.

[HammBugga]

Am I?


Yes you are. Tabatha's comment may have been weird but you are being defensive. I noticed that right off because you are pretty good usually about letting things roll off your back.

[babymakes4]

I don't feel defensive. I'm sorry if I came off that way, just the way she questioned me rubbed me the wrong way. kwim? Maybe I just had a bad day. Idk.

[hotlama]

I've had this happen to me when I lived in apartments. Whenever I sent my two kids outside to eat a popsicle I would end up having every kids in our building asking for one.

[tabatha]

that was my reply to this
ok whatever. my ds is outside playing with all these kids, he may have said "lets go see if my mom has popscicles" or something. Not the oddest thing that has ever happened to me.

[Crabbie]

Honestly, until I read the second part I thought the same as tabatha. I thought WTH would kids just go up to the door and ask for popsicles?? The thought that your son was with these kids when they asked didn't cross my mind till the added post clarifying.

[QuiltyConscience]

I want a popsicle. Where is my popsicle?

[Iconoclast]

I don't like popsicles. Do you havd any dreamsicles? I'll be needing about 10.

[EvilAmy]

Screw dat shit, I want Hagen Daas.
