I was washing my hands in my bathroom this evening and noticed that there was more Vaseline outside the bottle than in it on the counter. A nearby thermometer was gooey, and much of the counter was glistening. Hmmm... this had the look of Beth's doing.
Sure enough, Janell later explained that in the middle of nursing Hailey (things like this are always in the middle of nursing it seems), Beth appeared at the top of the stairs, looking a bit shinier than her continuously runny nose usually causes. Our friend, Melody, walked in the front door just at that moment and came to Janell's rescue. Beth happily showed Melody (aka "Auntie MomMom") where she had found the jar in our room, opened it, smeared it all over herself, assuming it was lotion!
This is why I go to work.
ps. THANK YOU, MELODY, for cleaning the slippery little stinker!

Regarding the "gooey thermometer" (which is the electronic variety), I can only assume that Beth has seen Mommy use it in conjunction with the jar of "lotion" for Baby (Haily had a slight fever at three weeks). Naturally, the little white stick must be for the generous application of lotion! That will teach us to leave such things below the three foot level! Thank goodness Beth didn't try to use it in Exactly the same way Mommy used it for Hailey!!
