DDs Garlic Press went AWOL
 

My daughter cooks with garlic in EVERYTHING. For the last 2 weeks her garlic press has been missing. This morning she found it. It was in Walter's room - he's 3 1/2. She picked it up and said, "So THAT's where MY garlic press went!!!" Walter looked at her and replied, "Momma, THAT is MY June bug crusher."

Any body else find creative ways to use kitchen utensils???

Oh yuck! cute!!

Love multi-use gadgets....:)

Love kids who are inventive!!

YUCK is right. I think Walter is very ingenious for his age.

Oh, I think Walter needs to be talked to about " crushing" bugs......not good.......

icky, but what a way to use one!!! very funny

I thought for sure Play-Doh was going to be involved in this story!!

I think it's time for a new garlic press... LOL

Same here, I thought it would be play-doh or something.

Nothing that creative!!! Personally those June bugs deserve it

Boys will be boys. I do wonder what he did with the crushed bugs...

That is priceless! I was wondering the same thing, what is he doing with the crushed bugs?

When my DD was that age she used to take some of the lunch she didn't finish into her room and put it in her toy chest, without my knowing it. When I found it I asked what it was doing in there and her response was, "For later." 28 years later she still loves left overs but she doesn't hide them in her bedroom. (She is one of those people that only eats when she is hungry so doesn't over-eat.)

I asked DD what Walter was doing with the crushed bugs. She is worried but doesn't know. Hopefully he fed the chickens or embellished a mud pie but that is unlikely since the press was in his room.

me too ! and wondering about the smell of play doh and garlic together !

Think I would be heading to the store to purchase another one.

That Walter is quite the innovator! What a guy! I could donate silverfish! LOL :D

Kids can be very morbid when it comes to bugs. We used to do some crazy stuff to lightning bugs when I was a child. We lit ants on fire with a magnifying glass, tied strings to June Bugs, and melted slugs with salt. Those were the good old days... LOL

My cousins used to swat June bugs out of the air with tennis rackets and stomp on them. They were protecting their mom's garden...at least that's what I was told. From indoors you couldn't see the bugs, at first I had no clue what they were doing out there! Looked like they'd lost their minds, LOL.

Out of the mouths of babes!!!

My youngest used to use mine for Silly Putty. Needless to say I got a new one as soon as I found out.

too funny.....or too cute...(LOL)...not sure!!!

Too funny! Sounds like a little boy to me!

Way to go Walter!

I am wondering how he got the garlic press.

That is the same kid that got into the key lime pie in the top of the refrigerator by stacking junk on a chair and climbing. Oh and handing down a spoonful to his big bro who was holding the rig. They took turns with the scoops of pie. So I can only imagine how he got the garlic press. There are 6 kidos in the family. Walter is #5.

Well that is a good way to take care of those bugs and I think I would just buy a new garlic press so he can keep his June bug masher.

Every kid needs a June bug squisher - DD did find out he hasn't used it yet - it is just for insurance - his sisters had a bug in their room so he is prepared... What I want to know is how he is going to get the bug to stay in the squisher long enough to squish it.

I agree! I hate those things. I was at Harbor Freight and got an electric swatter. Works on June bugs too. ZZZZZZ-TTT

My great big belly laugh for the day! hahahahahahah
