To Disgustingness and Beyond...

I have a new substance to add to my ever-expanding repertoire of clean-up skills...although technically unknown, I have a feeling it was canine fecal matter. The obscene aroma was coming from Calvin's face. After checking his diaper in disbelief of his ability to produce such an odor, we went on playing with sidewalk chalk...after a few more rounds of the puzzling yet stifling smell I finally realized what had happened...I couldn't stand the small any longer, so we went inside to clean up in the laundry room. After washing his hands and face, I grabbed a damp clean-looking rag that was already in the sink. After wiping his hands, face and mouth off, I smelled another stench of urine coming from the rag, which apparently served its duty a few days ago. The lesson I learned in all of this is that perhaps I should consider turning my kids into 'outdoor' children...or maybe just teaching Calvin a little discretion on what not to eat.
