Q-tips and Cleanliness

It's been a while since my last post but I'm not gonna go on and on about slacking cuz I am afraid I will forget one of the best things ever said by one of my kids.

A little background.......
Nate and I were on our way home from getting him a new pair of sandals.  I'm driving (duh) and he's in the passenger seat.  I look over to say something to him (he is looking straight ahead) and I notice the lack of cleanliness in his ear.  I remind him ever so gently, think of the tone of voice of mrs. brady, that he should clean his ears after every shower.  I say, "Nate, there are even q-tips in your bathroom you don't even have to walk to mine." (which isn't very far away)  His response.....

         wait for it....

"Mom, I don't really care about being clean like you guys do.  If i didn't have to

go to school every day, i probably wouldn't be all that clean." 

I am bursting.with.pride.
