Yesterday afternoon after Michael's 10th emotional breakdown I told him it was bath time.
He informed me that he hates baths and he wasn't going to take one.
I preceded to give Colin a bath while saying things like,
"Boy look how clean Colin is getting. He is going to smell so good."
and
"Your friends are going to wonder who is so stinky at school."
and
"Nobody is going to want to sit next to you if you stink"
I'm pretty sure some of my statements fall under the umbrella of "verbal abuse."
Anywho
Michael went into the playroom and started drawing away...
He told me he was drawing a picture of himself being stinky.
See the "stink" coming off the top of his head?
Just call him Pig-Pen.
Oh, and he DID end up taking a bath.
Phew.
I can handle a lot of things but a stinky child isn't one of them.

Love it!
I like that he expressed himself via art. Very cool. And maybe his hair was greasy and stinky? Hence the stinkiness coming off his head? Although he doesn't look like he could smell. He's too cute. Cute kids don't stink.
Regardless I'm sending you dry shampoo. ;)
What? There is such thing as dry shampoo!? Obviously we could really use some of that around here.
No, Michael doesn't stink but I'm pretty sure it is possible.
I once heard that Brad Pitt stinks and he is pretty cute:)
