What Are Little Boys Made Of?

“What are little boys made of?

What are little boys made of?

Snips and snails

And puppy-dogs’ tails,

That’s what little boys are made of.

What are little girls made of?

What are little girls made of?

Sugar and spice

And everything nice,

That’s what little girls are made of.”

“Snips” is an old timey word for a small eel…so sorta like a worm or a slug, right? Remember that poem/limerick when you were a kid?

Me and my boy, we find worms and slugs under the yard tiles every day. It’s totally more rad than shopping for pink tutus.

Just kidding, I go crazy for that little girl stuff, it’s freakin’ adorable and I want all of it to come in my size. But I got a boy, so I’m diving into it head first, baby! Worms and slugs and mud n’ crud- no fear!

Okay, maybe a little bit of fear. Yikes.

“Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
I think I’ll go eat some worms!
Big fat juicy ones,
Eensie weensy squeensy ones,
See how they wiggle and squirm!”

Ewwwww!!! To kids that song is still so HI- larious.

This morning as I sat down at my computer in my office with a cup of coffee, our neighbor’s cat Humphrey came in, meowed for me to pet him and when I did, a slimy SLUG came off his fur on to my hand!

Humphrey brought me a slug! What is this household coming to? Three males and one female. I can see the writing on the wall for my future and and it’s…slimy.

But very cute.

Here Bex is thinking “I could get used to this…”

“I am ROCKING this worm! But maybe I should set it free…”

“But…it’s fun. Oh, no! Mommy, what should I do?”

Worm released back into the wild! Or at least the wilds of our back yard…

Child celebrates! (Pretty daring with a plaster scoliosis cast on…one week from today until cast #10).

I still think little boys are made of angels. It’s just that sometimes the angels are covered in a very thick layer of ooey gooey mud.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Love,
