little bitty girl

My girlfriend Jen has been telling me all about her adventures of young motherhood. Before I start off on my story, I just have to say that I think Jen is such an amazing mum and she simply makes being a parent so do-able. That, and being smaller AFTER the pregnancy can almost make you want to hate her.

Anyway, she was talking about how there are so many funny things that kids do, that you so would NOT do if you were an adult.

Jen was talking about how she had gotten to know the kids and their caregivers in her neighbourhood park quite well. One day, there was this little girl that she recognized playing by herself in the sandbox. The girl had her hands up her skirt and was fiddling around. Jen didn't really want to say anything since the girl wasn't her own child. Moments later, the little girl went up to Jen and stuck her pointing finger really close to Jen's face and said, "Sometimes when you stick your finger up your bum, it smells funny."

Jen blanched and then hurriedly went to tell the girl's nanny to make sure that the girl washed her hands before she ate anything.

Oh, kids.....
