Kids Say the Darndest Things
ByThe other day we were having some guests over, which meant the Wife didn’t sleep the night before (lying awake in bed thinking about all the things she wanted to get done), then ran around all morning cleaning and preparing, which resulted in the disruption of my normal feeding schedule and various other things. My normal role in this situation is to observe those things which are not being done, critique, and if absolutely necessary, get personally involved. In this case, that meant checking on the personal hygiene situation of the little boys.
Me: Boys, are your hands clean?
Boy 1: Ugh, I don’t know…do they look clean?
Me: No, wash them.
Boy 2: Dad, I smelled them, and it smells like someone peed on them.
Me: Wash them.
Boy 3: Dad, my hands smell like my butt.
Me: Wash them.
Next up is clothes. These boys will wear clothes indefinitely and not think anything about it.
Me: Okay, let’s check your clothes…Boy #1, when was the last time you changed your underwear?
Boy 1: Umm, I don’t know..when we went to Mass (5 days ago).
Me: Change them. Boy 2, when was the last time you changed your underwear?
Boy 2: I don’t have any underwear on.
Me: Find some. Boy 3, when was the last time you changed your underwear?
Boy 3: Boy #2 stole my underwear.
Me: : Find some. I need some cucha…

My brother's father in law refuses to visit because last time, my son shook his hand after going to the bathroom. Nobody would''ve found out, but then, right after the handshake he put his hands in my face and asked me: Mom, why do my hands smell like poop?
So I guess it must be a boy thing.
