Spending a day with young children can be a messy affair, to say the least. When I finally get a chance to change out of my clothes, I often find myself questioning how I ended up so filthy. So, after one particularly chaotic day with my energetic 4-year-old, I decided to compile a list of all the things that had somehow found their way onto me. It was quite the investigative endeavor, but here’s what I discovered…
- Snot. It’s winter, so I’ve accepted that I’ll be enduring a season of boogers until spring.
- Crumbs from snacks. Those pirate booty remnants have a way of spreading everywhere.
- Yogurt. If only my little one managed to keep more of it in his mouth rather than in my hair!
- What in the world is this??? An unidentified mystery substance. Please let it not be poop.
- Poop. Seriously, can we avoid head contact right after potty time?
- Leftovers from meals. Look at me, ensuring my child gets enough to eat, but at what cost?
- Hot tea. A splash from an enthusiastic fire truck encounter left me with a burn and no sympathy from my kid.
- Mud. Playing in it is supposedly good for their health, right?
- Paint. No actual painting occurred, just an enthusiastic toddler who decided to dive into the paint.
- Milk. You know the saying, “no crying over spilled milk”? Try telling that to my clothes.
- Earwax. I can’t even…
- Makeup. That fancy lipstick went from lips to…who knows where? UGH.
- Play dough. At least this one is a badge of honor—proof my kid engaged in creative play today.
- Blood. A typical day in preschool land means scraped knees.
- Neosporin. See entry #14 for context.
- Toothpaste. The struggles of wrestling with a toddler at tooth-brushing time are real. Maybe I should just let him get cavities.
- Pee. Why do kids insist they don’t need to go? A mad dash to the potty shouldn’t end with me in a puddle.
- Chewed graham cracker mush. Snack time and snuggles don’t really mix well.
- Germs. Can’t see or smell them, but I know they’re all over me.
