Dylan is a total scrounge. He is always picking junk up off the ground, from parking lots, from behind restaurant benches, etc. It's really gross. His eyes are constantly scanning the ground for dropped pennies or other treasures. He came upon these lovely items in the Winco parking lot:
They're pretend sideburns. They actually were still in their little package and hadn't been opened yet. I told Dyl what they were, and where they go, and he didn't believe me. He swore up and down that they were two pieces of a pretend moustache. I let it go. Some arguments are just not worth getting into.
dylan is such a hoot. i love that he has a fake handlebar stache on and his face is just dead serious. just so you know, chris picks things up he finds in parking lots too. i make him throw them away, but when he first finds them he always gets this little boy excited look on his face until i give him the mean stern mom face back. boys will be boys.
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny! I love his little serious face.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a boy thing - because my boys are the same way. I can't tell you how many times I've said "Do we pick up garbage?" or "Where does garbage go?"
ReplyDeleteWhat a "treasure" to find a MUSTACHE still in the package!
Scavenging is a great talent/skill to have, especially in this economy! He is a cutie. Props to you and Ben for creating and raising such an adorable and useful kidlet!
ReplyDeletehahaha that makes me laugh! What a silly kid!
