The Trials of a Busy Mom

And speaking of stink….

This morning my son grabbed a pair of socks from the floor of the family room.

Me–Those aren’t clean.

Son–Yes, they are. I got them from my clean laundry basket yesterday.

Me (beginning to shrink in fear from those socks) Yesterday? Was that before or after you marched around in the 100 degree heat for 10 hours at band camp?

Son–Um….before.

Me–And you still think those are clean? (My voice just might have gotten a little bit louder and maybe creeped into the high and squeaky range about then. Just maybe.)

Son–Um…But I don’t have time to go and get a new pair.

Me–Yes. You do. There’s always time for clean socks.

    Ewww. I’m glad my kids haven’t hit the “rank feet” stage yet. My 6 yr old will wear the same pair of socks for two or three days without taking them off.

    But yuck, gag, urp, and more. I’m the same way with smells. I cannot rest until I find the culprit and get rid of it. Potatoes are the worst . . . . *urp*
