I almost blew it!

My grand daughters, ages 6 and 4, love tictacs.

I keep them in a kitchen drawer and in my truck and when ever they come over they raid the tictac drawer.

I keep telling them that they aren't candy. They're for the purpose of keeping your breath fresh, but that doesn't matter.

They pop them in their mouths like candy anyway.

A couple of days ago, one of the girls said she was going to put it under her pillow and pretend it was a tooth.

I told her that would sure fool her mommy.

MOMMY!", she yelled. "Don't you mean the tooth fairy!?"

Oops! I told her yes I meant the tooth fairy. It was just a slip.

They both seemed to buy it...for now.

I'm going to have to be more careful.
