Potato Farm

Yesterday I was sitting on the couch snuggling (well, letting him crawl all over me. He's 11 mo, there is no more snuggling at this point!) Colby and I got a glimpse of his ear. I said, "Oh my goodness Colby, you are growing the biggest potato farm in Wyoming in there!" That's what my mom always called yucky ears, so that's what I have called them. Well, Carson was doing something completely different in the room and he jumps up and says, "No mom! (So and so) has the biggest potato farm. I was standing behind him in line the other day and I wanted to throw up!" Chet looks at me with a sudden glare and says, "Carson. You need to know that your mother is the only one that looks in people's ears. That is not normal. Don't look in people's ears!' Carson just looked at me and said, "They were so gross mom. You would have thrown up!" I was laughing so hard. He kept telling me he was really serious. I cannot see stuff on my kids faces. I do not even notice it. But...my kids ears are always being cleaned, and their hair is always done (when in public anyways). It's a crazy thing I have (because my ears have to be cleaned twice a day or they are yucky, it's CRAZY!) The things we teach our kids by example when we don't even know it. I just need to make sure that I teach him it's not OK to tell the little boy that he is growing a potato farm, right?
