Very little flesh eats beetles or diseases, and for flesh to catch other flesh would be a most remarkable thing. Perhaps you meant to say "flesh-eating beetles" and "flesh-eating diseases"?
I clearly remember, as a wee tyke in diapers at age two, being yelled at by my father that he would not be following me to the Prom to clean up my ass. According to Mom, I was potty-trained all of a sudden. Humiliating and threatening: the Midwestern way.
It'll be interesting to see if mine go that way. At six and four, they don't stay clothed in the house voluntarily (well, I suppose they've usually got underwear on). It's like the freaking Jungle Book around here.
Yeah, thank god for digital photography, or none of us would be able to take pictures of our children. Two of my favs are naked PK wearing my red boots, which go up to his little naked butt, and naked PK wearing my clip on dangly earrings, modelling in the mirror for all the world like a baby glam rock star.
They have a "Flesh-Eating BeetleCam". That concept amuses me more than it should.

I was going to link to the Flesh-Eating BeetleCam, but I couldn't make it work. Maybe they got hungry and ate the cameraman.

Is it the cam that eats flesh, or the beetles?

It says "kids only." I feel creepy going in here.

I look forward to the Flesh-Eating BeetleCam/PandaCam crossover sequel.
(I kid. I love teh Butterstick.)

Can flesh eating beetles catch flesh eating diseases? And is there a Flesh-Kincaid scale of eating ease?

4: Do like I'm gonna do: watch it sometime when the kids are around. Maybe it'll keep them quiet and occupied for a few minutes.

Perhaps I didn't care about punctuating it.

You sacrifice so much for your children, I really admire you.

You've got no idea. Wanna come wipe his ass for him?
Posted by bitchphd | Link to this comment | 03-22-06 3:57 PM
Jeez, B., at some point he should develop ass-wiping skills.
Posted by John Emerson | Link to this comment | 03-22-06 6:53 PM
Yeah, I know.

Sometimes it's less work to deal with it at the source than on laundry day.
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 03-22-06 7:48 PM
Or rather, less work to just do it than it is to sit there and listen to him yelling WIPE MY ASS!!!! over, and over, and over again....
Posted by bitchphd | Link to this comment | 03-22-06 7:54 PM
Eh, they all grow out of it eventually.

I figure around puberty he'll probably start to rethink this behavior.

This discussion could be attached to the post title three below.

If he develops like Keegan, he will suddenly get very, very freaked out at anybody seeing him naked at about seven years old.

Ew. Insects!

Yeah, PK is in a big naked phase right now too. He's 5.
Posted by bitchphd | Link to this comment | 03-22-06 8:43 PM
I have several pictures of my little nieces covered in mud and nothing else, with great big smiles on their cute little faces. Illegal, of course.
Posted by John Emerson | Link to this comment | 03-22-06 8:52 PM
Assuming there's enough mud, you could be okay.

No offence intended, but I'm kind of amazed at a 5 year old who can't wipe his own ass.
Posted by Matt McGrattan | Link to this comment | 03-23-06 1:24 AM
I'm sure 21 wasn't in response to 20, or else Cala has some 'splainin' to do.
