Chicken has this idea lately that any time the snow looks dirty, it's because an animal pooped and/or peed on it. It's humorous...but it's starting to get slightly irritating how often I have to go over this with him.
Let's take today, for example.
We are driving on a warm day. The snow has been melting.
Chicken: Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew. I dust saw some-ting SO disgusting. Yuck!! I can't believe it.
Me: What?
Chicken: I dust saw dat an animal pooped so much in a pile of snow, dere was so much poop in the whole pile.
Me: Chicken, remember...we've talked about this. Snow can look really dirty, especially when it's melting. It was probably just rocks and dirt in the snow.
Chicken: No mom, it WEALLY was animal poop. I dust know it, mom, it weally, weally was. I know it is.
I mean, if he's that convinced, there's really not much more I can do or say.
Oh noodles.
"Edee" and "Chicken" are nicknames for my two little rascals. The names originated from how my daughter would pronounce both her own and little brother's name when she first started talking. They've stuck. Chicken may live to regret that someday....

Bus Treasures
Edee had just got off of the bus from school, when she announces, "I'm just going upstairs, for no reason!!"
Daddy and I raise our eyebrows at each other. Clayton runs up after her.
Me (yelling up the stairs): What reason do you have for going upstairs for no reason?
Edee: Just no reason! I'll be right back!
Me (to Daddy): What was that about?
Daddy: I don't know. Something's going on.
She comes back downstairs.
Daddy: Edee, I need you to be honest. Why did you run upstairs?
Edee: I, uh...mm...I just found something on the bus. It's not dirty!
Me: Okay, go get it and show it to us right now, please.
Edee: Okay.
She leaves and comes back excitedly holding out something small in her hand and hands it to Daddy.
Edee: It smells so good!
Me: What is--
Daddy: Aw, gross!
Me: Ew! Edee! Gross, that's a dried out piece of chewed up gum. Go wash your hands right now.
Chicken is sitting there smiling at me.
Me: Did you touch it too?
He nods slowly, still grinning.
Me: Go wash your hands!!
Kids!!!!!!!!
