Six-year-old Edmund comes in the house after doing his chores.
“Mommy, I need to wash my hands, cause some of the eggs were covered with chicken poop.”
And he did.
With soap.
Who knew? Boys do want to be clean.
At least from sticky chicken poop on their hands.

I don’t even want to ask about eggs covered with sticky chicken poop. Yuck.

Now that I think about it, the eggs weren’t sticky wet. The poop was dried, does that help?

You could make that into a song.
(to the tune of Girls Just Want to Have Fun)
sing: Boys just wanna be cle-an.

Wow, here’s hoping my Edward will be there one day.
It’s not today. That’s for sure. The boy bounced his soot-covered feet all over my white coverlet. Grrr.

Now how did you teach the child to wash his own hands without being told? WITH soap?? You’re putting something in their Turkish Delights aren’t you?

I don’t get it. Who likes chicken poop (or any poop) on their hands?!
Still, it’s funny what it takes to motivate a young hand washer. I’m guessing bug guts wouldn’t quite do it. (Doesn’t for my son at any rate.)
And while dung may justify handwashing, dung beetles do not apparently. I learned this yesterday.
And who knew a diet of dung could make a beetle so pretty?

I just love how you take joy in the little things in life! My son is the same way and sadly so is my DD. I guess they will have unbelievable immunity some day!
(I think I’m going to turn Sally’s song suggestion into a motivating wash your hands song- thanks Sally!)
