About 1/2 hour ago, after a long day of nearly 100 degree weather in which we did some nakey gardening and hammock construction together, my son, who is currently just over crotch-height to me, ran into me (face to crotch) accidentally, backed up, said, "Ew, goss!" and proceeded further with, "You ganina not smell good."
We promptly showered and I am happy to report that I am now fresh as a daisy.
Thanks, buddy. I can always count on you to be honest.
I simply didn't need to know that.
ReplyDeleteYou simply did not need to read it.
DeleteWow. This is wrong in so very many ways. On so many levels.
ReplyDeleteIf naked gardening is wrong, I don't want to be right.
Deleteum go you! "If naked gardening is wrong, I don't want to be right." - that might bethe best sentence ive ever heard, loved hearing it all in its wonderful =, true, gritty, natural state.
DeleteWhat an absolutely wonderful post - honest, heartwarming and radiating with love. Thank you Zen Mom x
DeleteLmao too cute momma..and good on you for being brave enough to post..boo on those who don't like it..didn't have to read it!...lol
ReplyDeleteBoo indeed. Thank you, Jodie! :D
DeleteHaha, this is my first time here.I love this whole post. Naked gardening sounds amazing. My sweet sweet offspring recently told me i smelled like a fart, while we were at the chiropractor, while i was holding her so he could scan her back. we were all touching each other. i was mortified. and then i laughed. sometimes we stink i guess.
ReplyDeleteThats too cute
DeleteSometimes we just stink. Dang right! ;)
DeleteI am not sure what is worse, that, or "Dad, your nuts look like shriveled apples!"
ReplyDeleteGood laugh, bah humbug on the haters.
Alas, I have no apples with which I can compare.
DeleteThat story so cute. Wish I had a backyard garden to have nakey hangout time
ReplyDeletea secluded backyard *
DeleteYes, high block walls are my friend.
Deletethanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been great if you could have told him that our bodies have our own particular scent which can get stronger when we are working hard. That healthy bodies have healthy scents and there is nothing wrong with a strong smell from our underarms or vaginas.
The ads tell us our vaginas should be clean, dry and odourless and this is not true, a clean vagina is neither dry nor odourless.
Are you sure that I've not had this conversation with him? Or that I would not in the future? He's 2 1/2. It's a funny story. I didn't share every detail. Nor did I feel it was the time to go into great detail with him. Sometimes, teaching moments present themselves. Sometimes, I just get to laugh and enjoy his amusing nature.
DeleteLet us all relearn the word VULVA. PLease.
ReplyDeleteHe's 2 1/2. Sometimes he calls my genitalia a penis. I use proper words with him. He'll catch on eventually. Otherwise, I just roll with it and allow him to amuse me.
