J: You know what that smell is, Mom?
Me: No, what is it?
J: It's my natural stink. I like my natural stink. I think it smells good.
Me: You do? Really?
J: Mmmhmm.
Me: What does your natural stink smell like?
J: It's what boys smell like.
Me: What do boys smell like?
J: Well, like frog pee.
I'm also writing over at Spread Change today, trying to help a family.
Wendy, you make me laugh. That young one is so insightful!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great conversation!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh!! Now, that he mentions it....that is what my boys smell like..especially in the summer!
ReplyDeleteOut of the mouth of babes! That is precious!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the best kid quotes I've ever heard. In case you were wondering, my son smells like wet sand. My sister used to smell like cornflakes. Those are good smells. But I once dated a man who smelled like couch, and that was most definitely NOT pleasant.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's great. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! LOLLLLL!!!
ReplyDeleteBEST! EVER!
ReplyDeleteLove it...
Frog pee? Good lord, but that is probably one of the most accurate estimations of man musk I've ever heard. Pop your head into a crowded men's room at a ballpark for clarification.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I didn't comment on your last entry about Julian, simply because things have been pretty intense around here. Know that you and yours were in our thoughts over here in Texas, and give us a link to click so we can donate some clams to research!
Anyway, we've been having Interesting Times over here, and I've just posted a bit about it in my latest entry. Come and check it out, and give me some of your sage wisdom. Do ugly divorces and uncooperative dads ever get any better?
Always with all the best,

That's great!
ReplyDeleteSo I can't believe you write on all those blogs! How on earth do you find the time?
Finally, a boy who admits to smelling like frog pee. It's abotu time.
ReplyDeleteSomething else to thank the good lord for this evening, that I don't know what frog pee smells like.
ReplyDeleteIck?
I have three boys, and frog pee is a pretty accurate description of what boys smell like.
ReplyDeleteI have girls :) and now I am so grateful LOL! Brilliantx
ReplyDeleteLOL... frog pee... that's a good one. Hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteRemember in A Fish Called Wanda when Kevin Cline keeps smelling under his own arms?
ReplyDeleteDo you think that young frogs think that they smell like boys? Not that I've ever smelt frog pee, but there is now an urge to find out. If you hear of a mad woman being arrested in the UK for smelling frogs, it's me.
ReplyDeleteThat's so awesome! Your two boys sound like such a blessing :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I feel more stunned ar your kid admitting: he has a "natural stink" or that he knows what frog pee smells like 0_0
ReplyDeleteWere you able to keep a straight face? I would have lost it at 'frog pee'.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, i smell even worse. For my mother at least. I never smell ANYTHING and my mom always tell me, "where's your deodorant!" I think i smell nice. but not for her.
ReplyDeleteNo, he didn't!!! That boy is something...grand!
ReplyDeleteThat is perfect! Now can he just explain to me what all the stickiness is about? My kids are always sticky.
ReplyDeletelololololol!!!
ReplyDeletethank you, wendy...i needed something to have a good belly laugh about today! can't say i know what frog pee smells like, nor do i have any inclination to discover it, but omg that boy of yours is truly a hoot, bless 'im!

Kids are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteMy little brother is 9 and says boys smell like Billy Goats.
Ouch, ouch, that hurts! Oh, you've got me laughing too hard.
ReplyDeleteThat's just way too funny!
Having memories of days spent exploring creeks in rural Iowa, I remember coming up smelling like frog pee, and finding it not the least bit bad.
ReplyDeleteDunno how I'd take to it today, though ;)
That kid is a total panic!! How do you keep a straight face??
ReplyDeleteLoL that is too funny! Does he eat asparagus? Does he know it will make his pee smell funny?
ReplyDeleteDidn't expect frog pee. That's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteomg!!! that is hysterical!!!
ReplyDeletethanks! i needed a good laugh today :)
That's hilarious! And, exactly true.

ReplyDeleteI swear to God!!! I have a girlfriend, Angela, who has 2 boys and one of them has been on a "fag" kick for nearly 2 yrs. It just does not matter what the thing, or issue, or person, happens to be. If it displease him, tells him 'no', looks at him crosseyed, makes him do chores, or generally ticks him off --- it/he/she/them/God/his brother/his mother's friends/his teachers/whatever is genuine FAG.
I hate the word and its connotations but this child has put a whole new meaning to the word and no one sees any point in trying to explain to him what is what since, well, we know what it would be anyhow.

That was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree.
I could never figure out what my brother smells like but i think thats about it
hmmm frog pee? I'll admit...that's adorable.
