My day, in two short acts

Auntie:  Who took a poop and didn't wipe or flush?!
Boys:  Not me!
Auntie and Me:  Uh-huuuhhh....
Me:  Well, you're both taking a bath tonight, and I'm not hearing anything about "But I'm not dirty!"

Later...

Me:  Alright, it's bathtime.  Be sure you both wash out your bums really well.
Seven-year-old:  What's a bum?!
Me:  What do you think I WANT you to wash?!
Seven-year-old:  Our butts...

And scene.

I heart the haiku
Laconic at best, but then
Sometimes nothing's said...

Cheri Lynn,

As usual your posts are charming, and I am so glad that the boys are getting a chance to experience your Cheri-essence.

You are missed and loved, dear one!
