    Would you deny a kid a cold pop-sicle on a hot day, because you are afraid they would get dirty?

    nope
    if you're out and want them to stay clean, take the shirt off and you're all good..

    that reminds me of the Jon & Kate episode when they went to Disney..and Kate freaked because the kids ice cream was already melting when they got it (in a cup)..she was so stressed that they might get dirty..it was Vanilla ice cream to boot.

    Well for goodness sakes, when else would you give a kid a popsicle? I certainly don't save them for Christmas!

    You know, I used to get upset when my kids got full of mud from playing in the backyard until I realized that I was obsessing about keeping clothes clean just so I could throw them in the washing machine anyway. Now I throw mud at them, it's much more fun.

    Well according to her. The kids can only have a popsicle, butt naked in the bath tub. I was told, not in the living room (As it might get on the rug), Not in the dining room (Because they might touch the china cabinet), Not in the kitchen (The sink might be dirty), or not any where with furniture.

    Outside might be too hot, inside is not safe!!! LOL

    I thought I saw this on Jon and Kate.

    If I am out I usually have a spare change of clothing for both kids anyways, and if were at home I put the baby in a highchair and the other one at the table. or send them outside and hose them off or throw them in the pool before I bring them inside. Now if we were on our way to get family pics or something done then I will tell them to wait till we get back.

    Kids don't get dirty the dirt just comes out on them. You'd get dirty too if you where built as close to the ground as a kid is.

    Of course I would give it to my kid. Dirt is temporary! But the memory of a smile and a moment is forever!

    By the sounds of things your Ipana smile (which I had to google....lol) was probably missing a chicklet or two.

    I thought at one point we had married the others sister.
