A Dirty Solution

Logic is useful for solving problems. Sometime near the end of July, Tavish used some 4 year old logic to help him avoid an uncomfortable situation...

MOMENT: Say it Like it is

Tavish had a cut on his foot that was filthy with dirt and needed to be cleaned. When the moment of soap came during bath time, Tavish was panicked. Then, with an alternative plan all conjured up, his fear was replaced with calmness:

"Mommy, you know how when people die, they decompose and turn into dirt? Well, how about we just wait until then and the dirt in my foot can just go into the ground then to help plants grow?"

Hmm. Logical when you see it that way, I suppose, ... Don't worry, adult logic prevailed. Sure, we had to deal with an unhappy boy in the tub for a bit, but at least he was unhappily sporting a clean (and uninfected) cut on his foot.
