The girl today was stinky. There is just no other word for it.

My kids are often pretty stinky, I must say.  Not when they wake up, but by the end of the day.  I don’t generally  mind because I think it means they’ve had a good day. Whenever my kids are stinky, I think of 2 things. 1) The scene from “Big Daddy” where Adam Sandler realizes that his kid is the smelly kid. and 2) Phoebe Buffay singing “Smelly Cat,” except I substitute “kid” for “cat.” It still works.

When she took a bath tonight, the bathwater was murky.  It was that bad.  I even used my whirligig facial brush thing on her.

Yes, people, I exfoliated my 4 year old.  Her skin is so glowy she looks 3 1/2. In all fairness, I think I just got through a layer of dirt and didn’t remove any skin cells. Stop dialing CPS.

How, you may ask, did she get this way? I’ll let a deeply cleansed girl tell you herself.
