thorns and thistles

Wyatt is almost three, which means that he is still young enough to get away with wearing no pants or underway without facing serious jail time. Although, we have made a rule in our own home that Wyatt has to at least wear underwear if he is going to be galivanting around the place. Sometimes he honors this request. Other times, he revolts with the brazenness of a nudist.

Anyway, I mention his nude habit as an intro to a story Anna shared with me yesterday ...

Anna was attending to Elise when Wyatt showed up in the room with no pants on. Anna said half-heartedly that Wyatt needed to put on his underwear. And Wyatt did not respond except to turn around and begin crawling on his knees ... at which point Anna realized that he had a big red spot on his left posterior mound. Upon closer inspection, Anna discovered a sizable thorn embedded in Wyatt's rumpus. She incredulously asked Wyatt, "Wyatt, did you not realize you had a thorn sticking in your bum?" And Wyatt just looked at her bemused and unaware.

Kids.

That's weird. That happened to me last week.
