Boys Will Be Boys. No Matter How Young.

Bath time has always been my responsibility at our house. They splash and play in the tub making a big wet mess in the bathroom and we all have fun.
Knowing that little boys are not the cleanest animals on the planet, and this might be one of the scars I have left for a future wife to deal with, I always make sure that they clean their little boy parts very well. Now, not having these parts myself, I was at a little bit of a loss as to how to get it all clean. I taught Ethan to pull the skin back and clean "the purple part". With just me and the boys aware of this nomenclature, all was good. Purple parts got cleaned. Ethan was very upset when Daddy had to give them a bath one night and didn't clean the purple parts. Daddy was very upset that I had actually called it that.
Last night was a very late bath for us. I stopped just short of the white trash wet wipe bath and went for the soapy water quick dunk instead. This is when I discovered that Ethan had completely misinterpreted my insistence on cleanliness. Before I pulled him out of the tub he freaked out a little. He stood up and poked out his parts to me and said "Wait Mom! You have to clean the purple parts or they won't get any bigger!"
