One fall it was time for a little yard work. The dump truck backed up the driveway and dropped a load of dirt mixed with manure in the yard. This proved too great a temptation for my six-year-old son.
"Can I play in the dirt?" he begged.
I recoiled at the thought of my son playing in the manure pile. I had to be firm as he kept asking all morning to climb the dirt heap.
Around lunchtime my son tried one more desperate plea to get near the earth pile. "Well, can I just take my lunch outside and sit and look at it?"

Don't you just love little boys? :) That is too cute.
ReplyDeleteMy son came after 3 daughters. So, was I overboard by not letting him play in the dirt(manure)?
ReplyDeleteMy friend with 2 boys said - YES - let boys play in the dirt(manure) pile.
Hmmm! What do you think?
Remember the verse "snips and snails and puppy dog tails?" Boys will be boys.
ReplyDeleteThis is cute!
