Okay. Prepare to be grossed out. If you've never been around little boys, you're gonna flip.
My kids had the neighbors over for a sleep over last night. The girls ages 7and 9 are having fun cutting out christmas ornaments from construction paper. The boys ages 5 and 6 are playing nicely. No one is fighting. (The 7 year old girl and 5 year old boy are ours. The others are brother and sister from next door). This is a big accomplishment because usually after such a long play period there is chaos. Anyway,,,,,, I am happy everyone is having a great time. I let them play. The girls want to take showers but don't want to use the kids bathroom. It stinks they say. Can they use our bathroom in Master Bedroom. Okay. I go check the kids bathroom. Toilet has poo and hasn't been flushed. My son has a habit of forgetting to flush. (Created when I had to check every time he went for medical reasons, anyway, he still hasn't remembered to flush everytime now.) But it isn't his. Apparently the 6 year old doesn't remember either. Is this a boy thing? I figure it must be. I had no brothers to gross me out, so my son takes care of that now. So I tell them to flush. Then the girls say " The boy's bedroom stinks". Great. What now?
What do you suppose I find??????????? GROSS OUT WARNING: A car with a huge piece of poo on it sitting on his train table. OH MY GOD! What goes through kids heads? Evidently my son saw some kids at school do it to a toy in the boys bathroom, and then they took it back into the classroom and the teacher threw it away. So this is where the mastermind idea came from. Anyway they both point fingers at each other. You know it's never THEIR fault. To top it off I'm on the phone with my grandma when this is all unravelling before my eyes and I have to hang up before she hears how gross my son is. Needless to say, Mama ain't happy. They get a long lecture, stand in the corner and are now putting all the toys away.
Oh I forgot to mention, earlier I found a wet toy in our bathroom and threw that out because it had fallen in the toilet. I thought that was an honest mistake. I am afraid to ask now. I think they were preparing themselves to go where no toy has gone before. (At least in this house).
I can hardly wait to see the neighbor lady's reaction when they have to tell her what they did. These boys are not innocent. Well they are sweet and pretty good kids, but together they do some stupid things. They've jumped up and down on top of a car denting the roof and now this. I know the roof thing was the neighbor boys idea, I caught him on top of my van roof once (heartattack-if he fell on the concrete it could have killed him!) But this one was my boys bright idea. Please tell me this is just part of being boys. Like I said, I had no brothers and so this is my first go at what little things made of snips and snails and puppydog tails do. Hope it makes your day a little brighter knowing the crap you have to deal with today isn't as litteral as mine!
