Quentin Jr, whom we refer to as Bug because of his stinkbug crawling position that he employed before he learned to walk, has a special ability for attracting filth. At one point during our last camping trip (see the Zion camp work party post), I found him face down in the dirt. He appeared to be repeatedly smashing his face into the dirt. I asked him what he was doing and his reply was "my kiss bug mommy". Quentin replaces "I" with "my" in many sentences "My love you", "My want banana" etc. So at this statement I looked into the pile of dirt directly in front of him and sure enough there was a tiny black beetle the size of a small ant.
You can't possibly get upset with a kid for getting himself all dirty when it was just for the sake of sharing love with another of God's creations. What a sweet sweet boy!!!
Apparently it is also NOT a requirement to wash your hands before eating when camping!
