Love Tap

I kinda have a little problem. I call it love tappin! I probably pat my 6 boys on the butt a total of about 30 times a day. Every time I get a butt shot, I slap it. I am out of control, I know it. (The other day Chet walked into a class I was subbing in Sunday School and he said some smart remark so I slapped his butt as he walked by. He looked at me all crazy and said I couldn't do that in church) And every time I see a bare butt, I squeeze the cheeks and say, "Cheekies!" Colby is now the cheeky boy. He loves to squeeze your butt and say cheekies. So at preschool, Cael needed something that was behind a father there. He just slapped him on the butt and politely asked if he could get his coat behind him. He thought nothing of it. We talked to the boys about how we only do that to family. Then I saw them doing it to my family. I told them to stop, but never really explained it after that. Then our babysitter was here, standing at the counter just talking to me, and all of a sudden she spins around really fast, and has this look of disbelief on her face. Caden was walking away and just says, "See ya later Makenna!" She just looked back at me all big eyed. Come to find out, Caden was sitting at the table eating, and was leaving the room and figured it was the last time he'd see her that day, so he was saying bye. He just slapped her on the butt and walked off. Her family is not at all like that! Caden was so confused as to why that was a problem. He said that he was just being nice telling her bye. He said she has a nice butt and wanted to say bye to her. I was like holy cow, stop talking. You're making it worse. He was so confused. Makenna was just dieing laughing! Good thing we know her really well, and she knows us. I really had to explain after that that we do not touch other peoples butts. Your kids really just think that the way you live in your home is reality everywhere, good or bad. We had to put a stop to that one.
