Sammy. I love that boy. I do. He is sweet and smart and cute and all around amazing.
But he is messy.
He has been messy since birth, and it is getting worse rather than better. And look at his table manners! Nearly every meal, snack or drink requires a complete change of clothes. And most often, a bath.
On Saturday, Kate, Andy and I were sitting on the living room floor playing Old Maid and minding our own business when Mr. Sam walked out of the kitchen chomping on the heel of a loaf of bread. “Where did you get that?” I asked him. “Num num!” he replied happily. Andy went in the kitchen to investigate and quickly deduced that Sam opened the kitchen trash can, pulled out the discarded bread bag, un-twisted the twist-tie and helped himself to a slice.
Hey, a guy’s gotta eat.
I can only imagine what nastiness is to come.

Do you have a gross kid story? We want to hear it! Leave a comment and tell us the yuckiest thing your kid has ever done. Come on, I can’t be the only one whose kid eats out of the garbage can… can I?
I love this picture!!!!
And, gross kid story…well, that’s hard to say. I mean, all of our boys have eaten out of the trash (but the food wasn’t untouched in a bag, unfortunately). They often go commando (that’s just their own gross stuff blowing in the wind though).
But, let me assure you they are generally just gross! They are all boy, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!!
Geez Em why don’t you feed the kid?? Both my kids have had their share of gross moments, as you know. Sophie likes to leave parts of banana in clever places and then I find them when I’m cleaning up and they are like fossilized. It’s pretty nasty! And a testament to my excellent parenting and housekeeping skills!
If you’ve ever had to say to your child “Please get your face out of the tied up trashbag” you might identify with this blog post.
My second oldest is part goat. Seriously. She was just eating out of the top of the trashbag, no idea what was there. She eats wierd food combinations, she mainlines condiments like ketchup and salt.. urgh.
🙂
Ah boys! We used to put a garbage bag under Donovan’s high chair. If I had it to do over again, I’d get “Grape Koolaid” Colored Carpet!!

A very curious, hungry almost-toddler in India. So gross. Dirt, poop, cows, pollution, stray dogs everywhere. Don’t even like to think of what she ate.
My daughter did stuff like this. They said she was the messiest kid at daycare. I can’t tell you how many cans of spray n wash I’ve been through. And just in case you didn’t know, the aerosol works better than the pump.
One of my favorite quotes from my friend to her son “Please take the cheese off the window!” By the way, who took this picture? She must be super talented.
He was hungry and obviously didn’t want to interrupt your card game. The kid had to fend for himself. Even if it does require trash digging. LOL
Love that picture!
Boys will be boys! It doesn’t matter what we are doing, both boys will find the messiest thing to do with it. When you find dirt/rocks in diapers, dig food out of ears and find you kids sniffing the dog “like dog sniffs him”, you know you have a boy!
Bahaha! He’s so cute, though. This pic reminds me of Maurice Sendak’s Pierre character – who poured syrup on his hair.
When I worked at Sinclair’s preschool, one of the kids found a little dirt ball on the floor. Only we soon realized it wasn’t dirt, and there was a trail of them leading to a very young girl. I took her to the bathroom and sure enough, there were a bunch of poo balls hiding out in her panties. I sat her on the toilet and went to get gloves and her change of clothes, but when I got back to her, the balls were gone. Found them in the ankles of her stretch pants. I laughed so hard I cried, couldn’t stand up even, and the lead teacher had to take over.
My GIRLS have decided they like to kiss how the dog and cat do…therefore they lick everything, including the dog and cat! Its pretty much disgusting all around.
Cool….2 thumbs up!
B ate some dog food once before I could stop her. Ick.
We call that “survival skills” at our house.
