A snippet from my glamorous life:
Sitting downstairs, Lily and Arden recently put to bed. Checking email. Catching up on Grey’s Anatomy. Lily pads downstairs whimpering. “Mommy, I need to wash my hands.”
Mommy: “Why do you need to wash your hands, Lily? You just got out of the bathtub!”
Lily: “My hand really smells yucky. I need to wash it. Here, smell it.” (Thrusting palm of her hand under my nose.)
Mommy: (sniffs cautiously, recoils after smelling hand). “Lily, what IS that?”
Lily: “My bottom itches, so I had to do a lot of scratching and now my hand smells yucky.”
Egads, people. Nothing says glamorous life like an exchange like this.
