Dads are disgusting

Two foot related things from this weekend.

My wife was having a bath on Saturday morning, the kids were all dressed and ready for the eldest's swimming lesson and I just needed a shower before we set off.

Whilst I'm waiting for the bathroom I decided to cut my fingernails. The kids are a little interested but they've seen it before. Then I thought I'd have a go at my toenails. Now, the twins haven't seen me do this before so they are both quite amazed. S'weird what gets them, isn't it?

Anyway I'm trying to get the clippings into the bin but one pings off a few feet. The twins are fighting each other because the both want to collect the missing toenail clipping and put it in the bin. I had a few minutes of great fun pinging the clippings off and watching them scurry after them.

Then last night we were trying to get the kids up to the bath for a wash, they were a little reluctant so I said, "Who wants a bath with Daddy then?"

"I do, I do, I do," they all shout.

"Great, well one at a time then and you can all take it in turns to sand Daddy's feet with the pumice stone."

I wonder how old they'll be when they realise how yucky that is.
