I’m in the bathroom this morning and I hear two little mammals whisper-giggling and crawl into my bed. I finish, flush, wash my hands, and return to the bed for a quick snuggle.
We goof off for a few minutes, and then I announce that I have to get into the shower.
6 year old: WHAT? Why? You just showered???
Me: (looking at him like he’s crazy) What do you mean?!?
Him: (emphatic) You showered!!!
Me: Is my hair wet? Does my body smell clean? Are my teeth minty fresh? What makes you think I SHOWERED???
Him: I heard the water!
Me: You heard the WATER from the SINK!!! I WASHED MY HANDS! Like all normal people are supposed to do when they are done going to the bathroom and wiping their bums!!! NORMAL people do their business, WIPE their BUMS, and THEN.WASH.THEIR.HANDS!!! (DO YOU KNOW???)
He peels into giggles…
Him: (Mischievously) Oh… (dramatic pause) I did not know that.
Mommy and Big brother join him in cracking up.
POST SCRIPT 1: What is wrong with this child that he thinks I shower in under 60 seconds? Has he ever even MET ME before???
POST SCRIPT 2: I love when they get the joke! And they take the ribbing I hand out in a good natured way!
