So we've had to hide the deodorant because Ladybug has been eating it, and, silly me, I forgot to put the Secret in the top cupboard the other night. The Cave Troll had been up and around after he'd been put to bed, and I finally just laid him down, threatened spankings and got really stern, like I do. He had his arms up by his head, and when I bent down to kiss him, I thought 'uh-oh...I know that smell...'
"Cave Troll--what have you been eating?"
(Imagine blank look here.)
"What did you eat?" (I'm getting more concerned--the smell is REALLY STRONG...)
"What, mama?"
"What did you eat?" (About then, I notice some white stuff on his shirt...)
"What did I eat?"
"Yeah, honey, what did you eat?" (Oh...this might be the deodorant, no wonder...)
"Boogers, mama! I ate boogers!"
Oh. Well alrighty then. My booger-eating son tried to put deodorant on after his shower. It all makes sense to me now.
lol... no other words come to me
ReplyDeleteGood hygiene starts young.
ReplyDeleteYour such a good mommy!
The kid is EATING pit stop? Oh, my gosh! You are a wonderful mom. Your patience and serenity leaves me in awe.
ReplyDeleteDo you think that if they EAT the pit-stop as children, they won't wear so much Axe as teenagers? No, me neither, but it's nice to think so.
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed at his attitude to hygiene! - will it last until 19, I ask you! Speaking of kids eating stuff - remind me one day to tell you my awful parenting story!
ReplyDeleteEww...there's too much talk of this stuff at the moment. One our politicians has been caught on camera eating his own ear wax. VOMIT!
