A 4-Year-Old Boy’s Logic

IMG_2655

My Beloved mentioned an incident that occurred during the holidays when when she asked grandtwin Zachary if he washed his hands after going to the bathroom.

He said, “No, Grandma. I didn’t need to.”

“Why not?”

“I didn’t touch the toilet when I peed.”

“How did you flush the toilet?”

“I used my elbow.”

With love,

Russ

P.S. My Beloved set him straight and he washed his hands.

    Haha, anything to get out of washing hands…. love it! My son said once when he was young: I am half German and whole English.’ He is still now 1 and a half person!

  4. He’s ahead of the curve. In high school some friends and I went to the movies. Three or four of us went to the bathroom and stepped out of stalls to wash hands, one girl just walked out. One of the friends said to the one who walked out “aren’t you going to wash your hands?” She said “why? I didn’t touch anything”. 🙂
