Parenthood Summed Up

It was bedtime. I brought Shane upstairs to say goodnight to Mommy.

I threw him on our bed (literally) and he crawled over and under the covers next to Carrie. She likes a good night snuggle and Shane forever hopes that he can delay his turning in. I plopped down on the bed next to them and waited.

After a little bit, Shane turned to me and shoved a hand in my face. Reflexively, I gave it a quick kiss. I usually don't, but sometimes Shane wants a kiss to make a 'boo-boo' feel better.

And then Shane spoke. The words seared into my brain.

"I have stinky hand!" Shane said.

The smell hit me.

Shane had shoved his hand down his pants to scratch his butt under the covers....and then he decided to share.
