A few months ago my five year-old started getting into food. We've tried various tactics to get her to stop, with moderate success. She's mostly stopped doing it but every now and again we see that she's slipped into old habits. Just last night I discovered a tupperware of pretzel treats at the foot of her bed, under the sheets. We had a talk with her and explained that we don't want her getting into food because she could get into something dangerous - something that she shouldn't be eating. Unbeknownst to us, she'd already learned a lesson about things that look like food but aren't food.
This morning I found an empty wrapper in her room and the subsequent investigation lead me to a trashcan, where I found this:
Not-so-yummy soap, originally uploaded by hezro.

Apparently she thought it was a chocolate bar.

But it's made with Cocoa. Doesn't that mean it should taste good?
hahahahahaha!! did she ever mention it to you guys? I have distinct memories of wondering how something with "cocoa butter" in it could possibly not be a yummy foodstuff. But don't know that I ever tried it.
oh.....at least it cleaned her teeth up some i guess.
Geez that's some awesome determination to get through a full bite on a bar of soap. I bet she chewed it a bit too. The look on her face was prob priceless.
I recognize that soap! At least you can be sure there wasn't any chemicals in it that would make her sick! Too bad it didn't prove the "lesson learned" bite!
That's a funny photo. I had to resort to fear with my little one. I told her that if she kept taking food to her room the bugs would move in with her. Good luck with her.
