Another gross blog...

I'm sorry people... it's all I have!!! So Ethan, my dear 12 year-old son, stepped on a nail at my mom's house during spring break. He had to choose the most disgusting nail on the farm to step on. It was from an old (50 year +) cow barn... therefore rust, manure and general boy germs. I took him in last Sunday and he got his tetnus shot and it was at a raging infection point so he was prescribed cipro... the drug for Anthrax. He complains of a stomach ache everytime he takes the stuff, and today, he showed up at home at his regular time... meaning he skipped track again... cuz his stomach was hurting. I kind of got on him about this. I really thought he was faking it. I'm sitting here sewing, he's watching Curious George on the couch and this UNHUMAN sound comes from his direction. You know those sound effect CDs you can buy with gross sounds? Specifically fart noises! This was WORSE than those. Non-stop for 1 1/2 hours! At first it was kind of funny, but then it just got gross. I finally looked at Rob for some direction here. He was looking at Ethan with his mouth wide open and finally said... "I'm not sure if I should be mad or impressed."

Yep...I had lost the battle.
