Those cliche's don't work, especially with young children.

Finley has a purse that she keeps her 'lipstick' in. Joe likes to put chapstick on as well, but sometimes he eats it (especially the flavored kind that Reanna gave Finley). Finley usually gets upset when Joe gets into her purse for the chapstick. I finally found a place for Finley to keep her purse that was out Joe's reach, but still within hers.

I walked into their room the other day to find Joe, once again, with some of Finley's chapstick.

"How many times do I have to tell you to keep your purse where it belongs?" I ask with tired-pregnant-mom exasperation.

"Four."
