A Chapstick Confession

I may have written about this before, and maybe I'm just feeling extra guilty about it now, but I need to confess something.

When my son has chapped lips, I put Chapstick on him when he is sleeping.
He won't put it on himself. I could "force" him to do it, maybe sit on him or something, but why? Who needs the trauma? Or am I missing an opportunity to "teach" him something? The path of least resistance is to put it on him while he is sleeping so his lips heal. Do I tell him later? I know he'd *freak* out at me if I told him that I did it in the morning.

I tried doing this the other night to my youngest son. He woke up *immediately* and then I was toast. He didn't see the Chapstick, but insisted that I pick him up and then we went and slept on the couch together. It was actually very sweet, but he still has chapped lips sort of under his lips. Like when you bite your bottom lip. He might be sucking his bottom lip when he sleeps or something...
