Peanut free mom*!
Me: Oh, I need to get a peanut to rub on LG's face.
Chris: ...WHY?
Me: Because I want to make sure she's not allergic to peanuts.
Chris: ...
Me, grabbing a peanut from a container of mixed nuts: We need to build up her immunity!
Chris: Well you need to use one without the skin on it! It needs to be a plain peanut!
Aaaaand, this is why we're awesome parents.
Also, the rub-a-peanut-on-LG test turned out positive. Or negative. Whatever, she was fine.
*The title comes from the Twitter account @PeanutFreeMom, which is a parody on all the nut-(no pun intended)-case parents out there. I don't follow him/her, but I do check in every once in awhile for a chuckle.

I’d never heard of @PeanutFreeMom until Linda told us about it at BlogHer. We all sat there reading it until we were cry-laughing. Comedy gold, right there.

hahahaha!! You guys are hilarious.
Now I’m resisting the urge to rub a peanut on Moriah’s face. Except all we have in the house is peanut butter and I’m not sure that would be ok.

Hilarious! So many kids have allergies that I think more parents should do that. Seriously? When we were kids we could bring homemade treats to school, anything that had peanuts in it and kids were fine. I can’t take anything with nuts or made near nuts or anything homemade to my kid’s school. LAME.
