Hygiene 101

Last night while I was getting Drake ready for bed, Dylan is so excited and tells me that he wants to show me something when I come downstairs. His birthday is Sunday, so I immediately assume that he’s found a commercial of a toy he wants. When I get downstairs Dylan rewinds the Tivo to a commercial alright, but it’s not a product for him…

Yes! My 6 year old son rubbed my arm and said, “Yep! You’re hairy!” and continues to tell me about this product the Tweeze. I don’t know how many times he rewound the commercial but he knew it by heart. He told me all about how, “I could use it anywhere on my body and it pulls the hair out from the root!” He was bummed that it was $60, “Because that’s a LOT of money.”

Ladies, I was trying so hard to keep a straight face! I’m glad to know that my 6 year old son’s got my back when it comes to personal hygiene.

  1. That’s hilarious! I once babysat for a family for a week. The 5-year old Caroline was sitting on my lap rubbing my arms when she suddenly stopped, turned around and very happily said, “you feel just like my daddy!”

    I couldn’t stop laughing. And yes, I still have hairy arms. Oh well.

  2. ah that is hilarious! don’t you just love commercials! and all the things kids think they need from them. love the “yup you’re hairy!” comment! my kids are all interested in armpit hair. good times.

  3. years ago, Carson told the babysitter that she should buy some fat melting pills that he saw on tv. He was so sincere… I was SO mortified!

    (he went on to tell me that he was glad that I didn’t have a lot of “junk in the trunk”… he might be the only person that thinks that, but it made me happy that he thought that I was cute… get a life, Katri!!!)

  4. That is really funny. It could have been worse. It could have been a commercial for that “embarrassing feminine odor” or “the all-new lap band procedure.” Not that I’m implying that you’re stinky or fat. In fact, you’re skinny and smell great!

  5. Laurie- I laughed my head off with this comment- leave it to a little boy to be brutally honest! I’m glad Dylan is looking out for his mom and wants her to look slick and hairless- sounds a little painful!

  6. Oh goody! I clicked the link & it’s only $20 now. Laurie, that story is priceless…something to pull out to tell a fiance about oneday!

  7. Oh your son and mine would so get along. My son was convinced that I needed the alarm you install in your house to call the paramedics by pushing one button (can’t think of the name of it). You know, the one with the commercial featuring like 90 year old women? Seriously good to know they have our backs, no?

  10. That is too funny. At least he has only noticed your hairy arms. My daughter used to grab the fat roll on my stomach and say, “its a hotdog”. No it wasnt a hotdog I had just probably eaten too many:)

  11. LOL! What is going on in their sweet little heads!! Ok- I guess they are telling us! Ha!!

    I understand you working hard not to laugh! I feel like my whole day is a hoot and half the time I am trying to discipline(with a straight face of course!)

  12. I’m cracking up right now!!! That is great that he knew all the details & just needed to tell you. What a sweetie!

  13. Oh Laurie! That was so funny it actually made me snort. Gotta love TV…I had worn some dark toe nail polish and my nails were stained that lovely yellow. For some reason, I didn’t paint them. My kids all ganged up on me and told me I needed to buy some Lamisil to treat my foot fungus.

  14. That is seriously funny. Don’t you love when kids tell such harsh truths? Tonight when I was tucking Little L into bed she told me that I “look like a donught today”!
    Just what I always wanted to look like, something large and round!
