What’s Grosser Than Gross??

OK, well do I have a story to tell. I thought Elliot outdid himself last week when, leaning over the baby’s changing table, he sneezed and landed a DIRECT HIT with a giant booger into Andrew’s open eye. Yeah, that was pretty gross. But yesterday he took gross to a whole new level.

We were getting out of the car at the post office. I had an open can of soda in the front seat. As I was collecting the packages we had to mail both boys were sneaking sips of my Diet Coke. I said that’s enough! No one (myself included) needs to be drinking that. So I took the can out of Elliot’s hands and poured out the rest out into the gutter. I turned to get the baby out of his car seat into my sling and when I turned around…

Elliot was down on his belly LICKING SODA OUT OF THE GUTTER! AHHHHHH!!! GROSS!!!

I didn’t get a picture of the parking lot scene, but this one seems to say either “I’m a boy and I love being gross!!” or“Hahaha Mommy you’ll never outwit me!! You think just because you pour soda on the ground that will stop me from drinking it!? Silly Mommy. Score: Elliot 1, Mommy 0” 

 

Actually, now that I think of it, Oliver did something pretty gross at the playground last week too. He and his buddy Jonas found some discarded fruit snacks on the ground near the swings. They asked if they could eat them and I said, no, because they were dirty. Next thing I know they were at the water fountain rinsing them off and popping them into their mouths. Mmmm….yummy!
