The Fine Print

I definitely missed a disclaimer when we bought Briar this shirt. See, I thought it was just a cute tom-boyish shirt. I had no idea it meant that I would have to deal with worms. Worms! Ew! I take back every blasphemous thing I've said against the princesses. I'll practice kindness, demure servitude and never leave the house without lipgloss and baby kitteny goodness if I can just please never have to deal with another worm being thrust in my face.*



* I realize that to you moms of boys one worm is no big deal, but I ask you to think back to a time before you were indoctrinated into the world of penis discovery and then later bathtime penis grabbing. Understand for those of less familiar with little tiny penises, worms are awful little things. Let's play nice until we really need to lean on each other as our kids hit puberty.

Are you kidding me, dear Amanda?

My boys wouldn't pick up a worm and hold it wriggling in their hands.

They'd spend time looking at it. They might even prod it with a stick (gently -- they're not delinquents). They'd yell for me to come see. But pick it up? No. Even though yes, they have penises. ;)

Wow, now I'm sort of... worried about having a boy. Of course, I knew things like that were going to happen eventually. And the worm thing doesn't bother me but the naming of nether-region appendages... sigh.

My boyz enjoy stomping on worms to see what squishes out. I kid you not. I have a long road ahead of me, I know.

I can think of worse things than worms, but then, my worse things might be bearable by your your standards!

I can't wait to get to that stage with the boys...not! Worms I can deal with...spiders...oh, I hope they don't like to play with spiders when they're older!
