Sometimes you have got to wonder what goes on in their six-year-old brains!
Tonight we were feeding Cole's fish before bed. One of his water frogs that wasn't looking so good this morning was floating belly up. As I grabbed the net, I told Cole to find something to put the frog in. He grabbed a half-empty (or half-full depending on your view on life) bottle of Gatorade. I netted the frog and dropped him into the bottle. I told Cole to go poor the contents into the toilet while I fed the fish. I heard the pouring and the flush. As he rounded the corner of the bathroom, I saw him taking a swig of the remaining Gatorade in the bottle!!!!!!! I almost flipped out. What goes through their heads? I truly was at a loss for words. I started to ask him what could he be thinking about drinking from a bottle that seconds before had a floating dead frog..but the look of shock and confusion and then sheepishness on his face, just made me crack up. Boys!

I think there is something that deletes logical thinking in their brains in order to maximally stimulate their immune system at this age. I've been in the same situation, sister!
Yuck! I am sure it added a lot of flavor to the gatorade/frogade.
I'm sad to say that I've seen worse. I remember one time when Faith picked up a dead ugly white bug w/ wings and ate it. James & Cole both have picked up old food from the floor of public places and had it in their mouth before I could even begin to move in their direction. But yet, Cole freaks out if his hands get dirty w/ food while he eats. He'll actually stop eating until I clean his hands. Go figure.
Well...you know what they say little boys are made of. I guess it just came naturally. Ewwww.....
