Ladies, Ladies…All the Ladies!!

There are certain gross things that I expected when God enlisted me in the “Mommy Program”.  I knew that eventually I would be spit-up on, vomited on, and pee-peed on.  I eventually would encounter some nasty poos or worse…..poo on my hands.  There are just those things that I knew I would experience sooner or later from my precious little gift from God.  However, this morning as I was cleaning the bathroom I noticed something on the door…a LOT of something on the back of the door.  It was sort of crusty; very hard to scrape off. 

“Josh, what’s this stuff on the back of the door?”  I asked.

“Umm..Will’s boogahs,” he matter-of-factly states. As if this is something he’s been watching his older brother doing for all of his life…something very often and NORMAL!

I hunt down the criminal.

“Will, what’s this stuff on the back of the door?”

“Umm…my boogers.”

And there you have it.  You know, maybe..perhaps part of me would have accepted that response had it been on any door in the house other than THE BATHROOM where there are thousands of little squares of tissue ready for easy access..several tissues thick for ultimate comfort..positioned not TWO FEET from the door!!!!

Yes, they certainly got a lesson that day in “Where do boogers go when they leave your nose.”  And yes it started with a “That’s it!!  This is gross!” And I’d love to tell you that I somehow found a shining light of biblical principle here, but no…that “shinning light” glowed only but a dull green.  As green as the green and yellow “boogahs” I spent 10 minutes scrubbing off of the bathroom door.  And I really wish that I could now, after having time to process the whole thing, have gained some insight or wisdom I may pass on to you.  But I regret to inform you, I could not be so fortunate. If anything, let me just make a suggestion to all you mommies out there:  check behind your bathroom doors.
