So instead of a boring list, I'm telling you the stories as I go. Here are the ones that took me right back.

Growing up, I left slime in my nightstand drawer way too long. It got super moldy, and there were flies all over the house. Nobody could figure out where they were coming from!
I figured it out eventually. I just never told my family it was my moldy slime.
So if slime is on your kid's list this year, my one tip: check the nightstand drawer!
