Well, it happened in The Christmas Story and people make jokes about it. It ranks right up there with window licking in the gross/weird things kids do factor…. Yup I’m talking about sticking your tongue to cold metal. Today as we were leaving Wally World, I was putting Cooper in his carseat and left Ava to her own devices for just a couple seconds. Sure enough, curiosity got to her and she stuck her tongue to the cart return! 7 degrees BELOW zero, and before I even knew she did it, she pulled it off by herself! She didn’t cry and she got in the van and said,
“Mom, it didn’t stay there, it came off.”
I asked, “What came off, What are you talking about?”
“My tongue, it didn’t stay there.”
Me: “Did you stick your tongue on something cold?”
Ava: “No, only a little, it was an accident.”
Me: “Oh no, Ava did you stick your tongue where the carts go? Let me see your tongue…”
Ava: Instantly crying, “Yeah I did right there… See….” and sticks out her tongue.
