I have learned through the years that kids speak their minds without worry of offending anyone. You know you are going to get the honest truth and sometimes you get more than you bargained for. I have seven grandchildren and love spending time with them. They keep you young and on your toes. I marvel at their wisdom and wit. Yesterday we had all the kids over for the evening, Danny grilled hot dogs and fixed the chili so we could enjoy chili dogs and potato salad and visit with the family during Danny's "weekend" home.
Josiah, Stacey's youngest walks into the kitchen and announces to all that "Grandma, your bathroom is nasty!" After the shock of the statement and the laughter died down we asked him why would he say that, he answered, "I was just in there and now it's nasty" Oh my gosh, We just started to laugh and he reminded us that laughing at him was not that funny.
Sometimes we have to look at the statement being made and realize that they see things in the simple form. I started to look at myself, did I forget to clean the bathroom or did someone leave a present for the next person to see or was that his way of being funny. I let Joey know that Grandma would make sure that the bathroom was always clean just for him and he said Thanks and left the room. Somethings are truly important to a little guy.
