Boys Are Funny
We clean the house on Saturday mornings. Everyone pitches in and we get things sparkly clean in a couple of hours.
This past Saturday was Patience’s birthday, so we were slow in getting started. Plus we gave Patience the day off, so the rest of use needed to pick up her jobs. Adam came to me with nothing to do, so I told him to help out and get all of the dirty rags and towels out of all of the bathrooms and carry them to the washer for cleaning.
Seems simple, right? Not with Adam. He gets ALL of the towels out of ALL of the bathrooms. I hear him huffing and puffing, but I’m not paying attention. Good job Mom. Two thumbs up for knowing what your kids are up to.
Every towel in the entire house was piled in the utility room. All of the bathroom cabinets were open and empty.
After we figured out what had happened we all wondered….does he know that we don’t put dirty towels back in the cabinet?
Based on the number of dirty socks in his drawer….maybe not.
Boys are funny.
Kid brains crack me up! I can remember doing things then someone asking me why and having absolutely no idea why.
LOL! That’s too funny…and sounds so like something my little one would do.
I am still laughing
You gotta be specific!
Oh, so funny are boys!
That is too funny! I had to laugh though because I was able to rationalize his thinking process. He was applying the qualifier of “dirty” to the rags only and since there was no qualifier for towels aside from “all” then you must have meant “all the towels”. i.e. gather all the dirty rags and dirty towels versus gather all the dirty rags and towels. Can you tell we have a child who we had to be VERY specific when he was younger? Thankfully as a teen he has figured out the nuances of the english language (normally) ha ha! Kids… you gotta smile! 🙂
Lisa…you have an Adam? Ohhhhh, I have an Adam too! See, I KNEW we had so much in common! Ok, well I don’t homeschool and I don’t have nine kids, but we both love organizing, right – and we LOVE the Lord!! My Adam would totally do something like that, too! Your kids must be a lot of fun. Happy Birthday to Patience!!

Organizing Made Fun
They are so literal at these ages! Fun stuff….
Oh have mercy! That’s funny but sadly I could see that happening at our house. LOL!
Too funny…dirty socks with clean…? EW!! Glad I have girls (not that mine are much better).
Oh funny! Boys are so observant and detail oriented in these areas aren’t they!?
Adam just attained star status at the top of my list. He’s my favorite :0)
Man am I glad that happened to you too, except I told my six year old man child to get his clothes from his room and he got every.single. piece. of. clothing. that he owns to wash. His drawers were empty. Boys.
That is hilarious!! What a thorough little feller! Bless your heart.
Oh, I love this, Lisa! A literal thinker, that Adam. 😀
Boys!
Speaking of boys being literal thinkers (re: Cheryl’s comment): I was painting cabinet doors in the garage and had a trashcan out there (not normal). My 5 yo son came out to get the trash can and when he opened the garage door, the cat ran for it. I said: Quick, Daniel, get the cat! She can’t be out here in this mess!
He had the trash can in his arms and panicked! He couldn’t figure out how to get the cat with the trash can in his arms. I about died laughing.
