Spending time with young children can be quite an experience—often a messy one. By the end of the day, my clothes resemble a science experiment gone wrong. One evening, as I gazed in disbelief at the various substances stuck to my outfit, I decided to compile a list of what I had encountered during my day with my energetic 4-year-old. It required some investigative skills, but here’s what I discovered…
- Mucus: It’s winter, and I’m practically a walking tissue.
- Cheese Dust: The remnants of cheesy snacks are everywhere.
- Yogurt: If only more of it made it into his mouth than into my hair.
- Mystery Substance: Seriously, what is this? Please tell me it’s not what I think it is.
- Fecal Matter: For the love of all things holy, please don’t touch your behind and then my hair while you’re on the toilet.
- Meal Residue: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner all seem to end up on me.
- Hot Beverage: I managed to spill tea on myself when he crashed into my leg with his toy truck. Yes, it hurt.
- Mud: They say it’s good for kids, right? I hope so.
- Paint: Somehow, he got into the paint, but we didn’t do any actual painting.
- Milk: In our house, there’s always crying over spilled milk.
- Earwax: Just…ew.
- Cosmetics: That lipstick was not cheap—what a waste!
- Play-Dough: At least this shows he was engaged in some form of creative activity.
- Blood: What’s a day without a few scraped knees?
- Antiseptic Ointment: Refer to point 14 for context.
- Toothpaste: The risks of wrestling with a toddler during teeth-brushing.
- Urine: Why do kids always wait until the last moment to tell you they need to go? A mad dash to the potty is inevitable.
- Chewed Graham Crackers: Snack time and cuddles can be a recipe for disaster.
- Germs: I can’t see or smell them, but I’m sure they’re having a party on my clothes.
