Adventures in Parenting -- Ewww! Gross!
Sean and Nik wake up from a short nap about a half hour ago. Sean stumbles to the bathroom first with me in his wake to supervise and reinforce proper bathroom protocol. I shepherd him out while Nik goes in behind us. I turn as Nik leaves the bathroom and observe a small wet patch on the left side of his denim shorts. Uh oh, someone didn't aim right and I go over to see how much damage has been done.
But the spot isn't really wet. I realize it's more of a damp stain coming from Nik's pocket and I can feel a small lump, about the size of a peach pit.
Wha....? Nik? What have you got in your pocket, boy?
I raised daughters. I've found all manner of pebbles and barretts, buttons and pennies and rubber bands.
But I've NEVER found a snail.
Until now.

Haha.
"Snips and snails and puppy dog tails."
I'm not sure what a snip is, but if you find a puppy dog tail in his pocket then you should start to worry.

Hey ... at least he's come out of his shell.

I once had a frog in my pocket I tried to show my mom.
She didn't like it.....

Digger, you and I had the same thought!

Just remember; they are, after all, only apes, and inquisitive apes into the bargain. :)
