waffle came home from his playdate with his sister (at our neighbors)
all covered in mud.
so craig told the kids (and sean's friend) to give waffle a bath.
they had never done it before so like a good mom would do….
i yelled at them all the ways they were doing it wrong.
and took pictures.
and yelled "don't get my camera wet!!" or "STOP spraying me!!"
they finally got him all sudsy and clean.
because of my awesome teaching.
not.
i think it's safe to say….
he liked it.
and sean liked that he got to spray the dog's butt and not get in trouble for it.
because butts are funny.
it's like the number one top funny thing to boys….butts.
i don't get it.
(i love the book harry the dirty dog….you should own it if you don't already!)
Nike Shox Classic Sale - The grand Silicon Valley continues to be ‘ground zero’ for creative destruction, and complacent industries thousands of miles away could be toppled by someone working from their bedroom in Silicon Valley. on Friday. by joy 2-18.
S - I LOVE Waffle’s smile.
Trish @TheOldPostRoad - What does the back of the “the hippies were right” shirt say?
j - good to know the butt thing is a boy thing…we joke that my son is going to major butt-ology in college.
Christina - Oh my goodness..what is it with butts and the giggler. I was going to say they are attached, but that was going to sound really gross. Anyway, it is a constant topic of conversation around here. Brilliant stuff.
Your description of this even made me laugh out loud. (I hate writing LOL. So I type it out. Does that make me old? I don’t know.)

here is the exact post.
Sheryl - lol. no seriously LOL! My husband asked why I was laughing and I told him but he didn’t get it. I love your posts!! You are like my friend that I never met. so funny that boys are all the same, butts and poopoo…
totally off subject…I thought of you when I saw this blog.

the pillow case dresses for the poor! I am getting ready to have a sewing lesson and hope to do this for the Philippines mission that I am involved in….
Stefanie Roth - I thought it was just MY boys that thought BUTTS were funny! Good to know we’re not alone 🙂
Desiree' - yup…boys…butts, anything that comes out of a butt, and anything that covers a butt! my son thinks that putting underwear on your head is THE funniest thing EVER! 🙂
Ali - That last picture almost made me wet my pants from laughing! So fun!
Anne Marie - All the girls I watch love “butt” jokes, I think it’s a phase for almost all kids to see the reaction from Mom and Dad. (:
Denissa - I LOVE the last picture!!! 🙂 And yep my 3 boys are obsessed w/ butts…
Heather - that last picture is awesome.
Melissa - love the last photo.
Trish - Fun times… butts are funny to my girls. Just this morning they were singing about their doll dancing on it’s head with it’s butt in the air, and then laughing uncontrollably! Crazy kids.
Oh and I hope this wasn’t your craft for the week… I’ve been waiting to see what it is, trying to follow in your footsteps 🙂
Kristy Ann - Sean’s shirt is CRACKING me up!!
Christine Ishmael - I love Harry the Dirty Dog…my mom used to read that to us!
Penny - {{{{{Waffle}}}}} Give him a big hug for me! I just love Waffle.
Suzette - love everything about this post…from you yelling at the kids and telling them not to get you wet to the whole boy/butt thing! With 2 boys here I can TOTALLY relate…oh, and i have a dirty labradoodle, so I get it, is what I’m sayin.
merlin - My most favorite kid’s book, good old Harry the Dirty Dog.
I don’t understand why it is so very appealing, maybe it’s that you can be naughty, get all dirty on a great adventure and still be loved and wanted after a good cleaning up.
Thanks for reminding me of that favorite childhood memory.
Tegan and Tage - The Hippes Were Right!!! Ahahaha! That is the best shirt ever!
Lori - Oh man, I was hoping my 4-year-old would outgrow the butt thing after kindergarten. Don’t tell me we have years more of this!
www.Kellyloves.wordpress.com - butts and poo poo. i don’t get it either! Well, that’s not totally true. I laugh as well! hee hee

Pamela duMont - butts and farts. and we own that book too. love it. btw…mentioned you and your awesome summer list on my blog. hope you don’t mind if we copy! my kids are dying to have a shaving cream fight and make the rainbow cake!
Sandy - Looks like Waffle enjoyed the butt spray as much or more than Sean! 🙂
Mindy W - You are right on the money about butts and boys. Right on the money! And it’s innate. I mean, my husband doesn’t go around saying “butt” or imitating butt noises.
jeana - We own the Harry the Dirty Dog books too. It was one of my favorites when I was little. Oh and yeah, butts. We have 3 boys…..that’s all I’m sayin.
Tammi - That last pic made me laugh out loud! Looks like waffle and Sean are both laughing-too funny. Something else I have to look forward to with my 4 yr old son…laughing about butts! 🙂
Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - Oh I love that picture of Waffle smiling really big while they spray his butt! How adorable is that?! I want your dog…is that coveting my neighbor? Pure sweetness:)
Staci - Such a good boy that Waffle just letting Sean spray is booty 😛 My Connor just turned 8….and thinks that butts are funny too 🙁 BOYS! I do love them though…boys, not butts 🙁 Have a happy weekend 🙂
katie - he is so cute!! i love how he is smiling in the last picture!
Melanie - I have a 16 yr. old and they can make the oddest noises with their body parts and think that it is so funny! It is not to a mom:)
nora - butt! i love washing the dog in the summer – just a hose and the backyard. the winter? forget it. black hair all over our bathroom – what a nightmare.
Angie - He’s smiling!!!!
Dina - OK, I’m not a boy, but the way you wrote this – I’m thinkin’ butt’s are pretty funny too! 🙂 LOL!
I SOOOO needed to laugh this morning… thank you…
deb meyers - apparently waffle, being a boy, thinks butts are funny, too. I LOVE his expression in the last pic : )))
deb meyers
Mica - the funny thing is…it looks like he is laughing in the end…so stinkin cute..Mica/The Child’s Paper
Kimberlee J. - I love Sean’s t shirt. Does it say anything on the back?
kat - I love the last picture. Both Waffle’s and your son’ expressions are priceless. We have a stinky dog here that will probably be getting a bath outside this weekend too!
Sarah@Clover Lane - We own all the Harry the Dirty Dogs and they are my favorites!
Sara @ It's Good to be Queen - Okay, that last pictures is HIGH-LARIOUS!!! Such a boy! Also, that’s so how I teach my kids something too. ha! 😉
Juli - Talby is absolutely gorgeous. If she ever questions that when she is a teen (I always did) show her this picture where she is leaning over scrubbing Waffle, eyes down & intent. Perfect little lips, long eyelashes, perfect little nose… Could she be any more beautiful?!
Am I the only commenter who wants to know why “The Hippies were Right”?
Our dog loves to be shot with the hose too but she is a spastic Boxer. We call her Hyper Piper! She just jumps around like a Mexican jumping bean trying to drink it!
Lisa - Any post with waffle in it is a good one. I have girls, so no real interest in butts here. But they would have loved washing the dog.
Gemma - My dog hates baths/showers…his face gets all sad and he tries to hide lol
Gemma X
Julie - Butts are funny around here too. Several years ago we went to Florence, Italy and saw the statue David, and my younger son and I took a stroll around the statue looking at it from all angles and of course he cracked up when we got around back looking straight up at David’s butt! I’m attempting to instill culture in them, but I don’t think it’s working.
Gotta love boys. 😉
Laura Phelps - butts and poop. very funny to boys. but nothing compares to “stupid”, “so dumb” and “poopy head” or “poopy butt”….
boys.
Anya - I so don’t get the boys and butts thing either!!!
