My four-year-old doesn’t always take the time to wash her hands after using the bathroom. Because of this, we began asking to smell her hands when she returned. OurĀ scented soap made it obvious with one sniff whether or not her hands were clean.
One night when I asked, she didn’t just hold her hand out an inch or two from my nose, as she normally did. This time she put one hand on my cheek and the other up against my nostrils. Then she said, with a big smile, “Nope. I forgot,” before running back to the bathroom.
I followed her in order to wash my face.

My boys don’t always have the patience to wash either.
Judging by the signs posted in restaurant restrooms, I’m guessing a lot of adults don’t have the patience to wash either. Eww.
Funny but yuck!
Oh, my. Just what are they thinking when they do stuff like this? “Let me see…I haven’t pee’ed on the floor, picked my nose and wiped it on dad’s shirt, taken anything of my parents and rolled it in dirt, or licked anybody…I think I will not wash my hands and then touch my dad’s face. Yep, that should do it for today!”
It has got to be something like that.
Wouldn’t it be fun to know what does go on in their little heads?
My kid thinks it’s funny to mess up my hair when I help him pull up his pants after going to the toilet. I try not to think about it.
Ugh! Yeah, that’s probably how I would handle that too.
We love all bathroom humor of little kids though sometimes it is gross.Keep ‘em coming I say! Blessings.
Ha! You would get along very well with my sister. She told me there was a scene in the move Jack and Jill that puts the bathroom “explosion” scene in Dumb and Dumber to shame. She laughed so hard that she brought her young kids in to watch it with her to “instill in them a love of bathroom humor.” Yes, that was a direct quote. (I’ll have to rent that movie.)
That’s my kind of girl!
She’ll be tickled to know you said that. I’ll tell her.
Cute!
