Rotten and Stinky Boys

This child, this sweet, smart, rotten child. He keeps me laughing. He runs until he is so tired that he cannot even drag himself up the stairs to bed. Recently he sat with me on the porch while I snuggled a baby goat. It is not normal for me to become attached to our baby goats because I know they will leave. But I had a bad day. So I sat on the porch snuggling this little baby goat. I told the goat that he needs to stop being cute. I told the goat that I do not keep boys because they become rotten and they begin to stink. That I will not keep a stinky boy goat on our little farm. I honestly forgot that my precious boy was on the porch with me. All of the sudden he got a sad look on his face. Almost a scared look. He looked up at me with those beautiful eyes that could control the world and said "mom, when I become a stinky boy will you get rid of me". I tried really hard not to laugh at him. I reminded him that I love him even when he is rotten and stinky.
