It Really Is The Best Part

March 12, 2008 | Filed in: Life As I Know It, Mah Babies, Someone Feed Me, Uncategorized

I know that some people love their children too much to allow them to eat cookie dough or brownie batter, but me? I figure if they get sick it’ll just mean more of the finished product for me.

That doesn’t make me a bad mom or anything right?

Hell no. It’s stuff like that that you remember when you grow up.

I waited until they were each a year old and then I let them share the batter. I’m just not good at paranoid. So of course I don’t think you’re a bad mom, because that would make me a bad mom and I’m only willing to admit to incompetence.

Oooh, can I come over and play at your house?

I know people who won’t even let their kids outside on a beautiful day without shoes, let alone EAT RAW ANYTHING! Those kids may never get a thorn in their foot which has to be taken out with high drama; but they will also never know the feeling of mud and grass and warm pitch underfoot. That’s NO kinda life! And those kids always seem to be sick!

We can be way too paranoid about safety.

I posted something very similar the other day…it was hard for me to let him eat the batter. I watched him for signs of salmonella all day.

Hahahha, we’re so long lost sisters!

I have eaten it all my life and already let Carter have it whenever we bake something.

The only time my oldest has been denied cookie batter was when I was pregnant with my second. If I didn’t rinse off the beaters IMMEDIATELY I simply didn’t have the self-control to not eat it myself.

Will you be my mommy?

Sounds like perfect logic to me!
I find it hard to even imagine a childhood where I wasn’t allowed to lick the batter.

Jackie’s last blog post..Sigh.

That was always my favorite part of making cookies or brownies or cake. The dough/batter is always better than the finished product… why is that!?

Jane, Pinks & Blues

Well, me and the other wives NEVER let the children (all 18 of them) eat cookie dough but hey, that’s just the Mormon way.
And I didn’t even have to click on the link to know who you were referring to.

The kids never stand a chance. Their dad gets to it looooonnnggg before they even know such goodness exists.

Kerri’s last blog post..Mmmm….waffles….

Dude! They just say they love their children too much to give them batter. Really they just don’t want to share. At least that’s my motivation.

MammaLoves’s last blog post..Dammit Eliot!

What? You mean some Mothers don;t allow this? I pity those kids!

What? You mean some mothers don’t allow this? I pity those kids!!

samcy’s last blog post..Crazy things you have done?

We choose to live dangerously here at our house as well. It’s always a knock down drag out to lick the bowl, unless my husband has mixed up a batch of blueberry muffin mix and poured cocoa pebbles in it, then he has it all to himself. That is just gross.

Your blog is the funniest flippin thing I have seen lately, I have laughed till I have cried. I can relate in many ways.

The boy and I FIIIGHT over the mixer paddles and the spoon and the bowl. Gives us something to do before fighting over the last cookie, or brownie or whatever. Living dangerously, oh well. As kids, we drank out of the hose and went barefoot and once made dog-poo mud pies. Which was immense fun until the parental units found out and freaked out totally. So on a scale from one to allowing dog-poo mud pies, I guess I fall somewhere in the middle. Long live the brownie-batter eaters!

Abso-freakin-lutely not! My 3 year old asks to lick the beater or spoon or spatula before we’ve even got all the ingredients in the bowl. You’ve got to train them early!!

Jill (CDJ)’s last blog post..We interrupt this blogcast…

We eat the batter, too. That’s bad, huh?

Oh pahleazzzeee!!! Isn’t that part of being a kid? (and a mom? Hey, let’s make brownies so I can lick the bowl!). And if it helps, I have read some articles that state that it’s not as much of a threat as some people think to get ill from eating a bit of raw egg. There, some clinical mumbo jumbo to make you feel better. Besides, who wants to live in a bubble?!
