Two year olds are awesome.  They are bossy and clueless at the same time.  And everything is worth a conversation.

This afternoon, my two year old burst in on me in the bathroom. This is not an unusual occurrence, because she will seek me out to make sure she knows all my business.

A: “Mommy! Why are you n@ked?”  {clearly, Mother has lost her mind.}

 Me: “Because I’m taking a shower.”

A: “What?!? WHY are you taking a shower?”  {Unbelievable!}

Me: “Because I’m dirty.”

A: “Oh.”  {This answer stops this in her tracks.  The reasoning is so unexpected, yet so logical}

(ponders)

A: “You’re dirty? You a dirty birdie?”  {Hmmm. Gotta chew this over}

She gives me a squinty eye and nods her head decisively.

A: “Better take a shower.”

Later, after I was drying off, she turns to me with her hands on her hips.

A: “Mommy!  Look at this mess!”

…then she wiped the floor of the shower dry with a washcloth.

Moms with lots of littles, be encouraged.  It won’t always be this hard.  The hardest part is when you have more kids than hands and they are all under five.  It gets better! Someday you might even take a shower in the middle of the day!
