This afternoon:
Riley: "Mom, do you know why my hands stink?"
Let's pause right there, shall we? Anyone who has been a mother for 10 minutes knows better than to engage in this discussion. No good can come from this question. A proper mother answer would have been: "I don't want to know, but you had better wash your hands." I was evidently asleep that day in Motherhood 101.
I was pre-occupied, so I fell for it: "No, why?"
Riley: "Because I touched my socks and I've been wearing the same ones for 3 days."
