Puttin' the Filth in Filthy


A few things about me:

  • I love dirty children. Dirty children = Happy children. Dirty bodies and faces mean they've played hard and eaten well. They've had an overall good day.
  • I am one of those people that believes my husband is just as much their parent as I am therefore has the right to do things his way without too much questioning or redirection from me. Meaning, I won't give him a hard time when he uses the same water to bathe all three children instead of changing it out in between.
  • I haven't scrubbed the grout between my bathroom floor tiles in over a year.
All that said, Alice Springs is a dry, dusty and grungy place. We live in a desert. It's expected. My kids take full advantage of the dirt by rolling in it, smearing it from head to toe and throwing it on top of the nearest head. They take pride in their work.

And I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "Who's the unlucky kid that got to be number three in that line-up?"
