Stinky boys...

Today's blog is brought to you by Bryan and Brendan. This father and son duo really put a whole new meaning to the phrase, "two peas in a pod." This morning we are scrambling around the house making ourselves presentable for church. Presentable?!?! So we thought...

Bryan and Brendan walk out of the house first, a couple minutes later Bailey and I follow. I come around the corner of the house and see Bryan standing at the end of the driveway "coaching" Brendan. I look to see Brendan and he is out in the middle of the blacktop road "moonwalking". Bryan continues with the "put your toes down and point and drag". I then ask Brendan, "why are you in the middle of the road moonwalking?" Tsk, tsk, tsk, silly me! "I am not moonwalking, I am scraping the dog poop off the bottom of my shoe." I shake my head and climb into the jeep, chuckling at his moonwalking abilities and Bryan's coaching abilities as well. A couple minutes later he and Bryan climb into the jeep to join Bailey and I.

Then, the most profound parental advice passed through my husband's lips..."Rooster, if anyone says they smell poop, just say, Me too!" I turn to Bryan and say "NIIIIIIICEEE ADVICE, DAD!" So, we laugh and head to church.

We then arrive at church and take our seats. Bryan and 3 other men are playing guitar together and were doing a special this morning. We have our morning announcements this morning and then the air conditioning kicks on, which i am usually not happy about anyway, because it blows right on me, however today I was. I then get a wiff of some rank body odor. i wrinkle my nose and look around to see if anyone else has noticed. I then nonchalantly lean over to Bryan and inform him of the b.o. I smell and his response...."Me too!" I then smell it even stronger and lock eyes with Bryan and ask him if he put deoderant on this morning and he sniffs his armpits and replies with, "Uhhhh, noooo!" I then laugh and whisper in his ear (while holding my breath) that if anyone says they smell b.o., just say, Me too! We giggle and when he turns his head I sneakily slide down the pew out of his reach so he cannot put his stinky arm around me during service.

Before Bryan and the guys get up to perform, he excuses himself to go to the restroom, when he comes back I am teasing him by telling him to keep his arms down and pinching my nose. He says, " it's alright now, I went in the bathroom and put Germ-X under my arms." I am about to lose it at this point, however I get my laughter under control and he performs and it goes off without a hitch. Service is over and we are in the Jeep on our way home and I ask Brendan if he put Germ-X on his shoe, he looks at me like I am silly and then later says to me, "that is a genius idea!" Moral of the story...Boys stink! :) again, brought to you by Bryan and his mini-me, Brendan.
