In: Lola in Toddler Underpants. Out: Coffee and Tea for Mommy

Lola has graduated to toddler pants, which look like real underwear, but which have padding in the bottom to minimize the damage of "accidents." Meanwhile, I have permanently quit tea and coffee for vanity's sake. I purchased some "white strips," which are bleaching my teeth lighter than the light yellow color they have affected for a while now. Since my teeth seem so friendly to bleach, I am going to do the "strips" only once a day. I don't want to get in an accident tomorrow morning on the way to work, wearing blue adhesive latex all over my teeth. My favorite instruction on the package tells me "Avoid eating and drinking while wearing the "strips." Anyone who has worn these knows that one can barely swallow while sporting these giant beauties!--K
