Yes, this handsome, blue-eyed boy will no doubt be the source of any and all gray hair I will have. Oh, you want to know why, well I’ll tell you and you can’t be grossed out. If you are sorry, but stop reading! I am not sure if I’ve ever blogged the cheerio story but I’ll give you a brief summary.

A few weeks ago Casey John had found a cheerio on the floor in the living room (I have no idea how it got there) and I catch him in the pose of “have it to my mouth about to eat it” when I say “stop”. He continues to hold his pose as I negotiate with him as to why he should not eat that cheerio. “It’s old, and has germs on it, it’s yucky, go throw it away.” Pose has not changed. As I get closer to him the cheerio inches closer to his mouth, until finally I am able to convince him a bowl of fresh cheerios would be much tastier. He throws it in the trash, crisis averted.

Now to gross you out – last night as I am tucking in both Casey John and his droids he does the dreaded nose pick. In his defense he has had a runny/crusty nose for about a week now (good old school house germs). If the pick isn’t bad enough he makes the motion toward his mouth, my cat like reflexes stop his hand, I say “no” and tell him I’ll go get him a tissue. As soon as I let go of his hand the little booger (no pun intended) eats the icky thing anyway!

So to let him no how very gross that is, I tell him if he continues to eat his boogers they will start growing out of his ears and eyes. To which he begins to plead for them not to grow out his ears. Casey is dying of laughter in the front room and I am convinced he won’t be doing it anymore, well as least when I can’t see him… Bet you didn’t have anything that gross happen to you 🙂
