Grease Monkey




So, stinking Malcom decided to go swimming in a tub of vaseline while I was in the shower. Kevin, who was watching t.v. rather than his son, failed to notice that he had disappeared into the other room for quite some time. Malc had just received his ritualistic rub down of the cream after he'd gotten out of the bath, so unfortunately the vaseline was within reach. When I came out into the family room and saw him COVERED in vaseline (not to mention the carpet) my first instinct was to start swearing. Kevin quickly jumped up and instructed me to grab the camera. Malcom's only response to my outrage was poking gobs of vaseline into both his "eyes" and "nose" which is all he kept saying - probably because he couldn't see or breathe. Honestly, I can't figure out how he lathered himself so thoroughly. The entire brand new 13 oz. tub was scraped clean. Even now, after about 16 washes, his hair is still recovering. I tell you, this kid is trouble.

That stuff needs to be kept under lock and key!
P.S.
For instance, what swear words did you say?

Both my boys did this! All I can say is the camera is the best way to calm down after an event like that.
I'm glad to have found your blog.
