Often times, one of the things I do to save my sanity and some time is to toss both boys into my shower at the same time. It has an actual door that prevents water going everywhere and it is relatively cheap entertainment for them that rinses all the dirt off as well.

On more than one occasion the little trouble makers have emptied Alan’s shampoo. Tons of bubble fun for them. I have chastised and complained. Unfortunately, sometimes you just have to learn by natural consequences.

I overheard Finn say to his brother, “We need to be quiet so Mom doesn’t know. “ Uhh... this got my attention pretty quick. I ducked my head in there to see them covered from head to toe with Daddy’s shampoo. There were three reasons I didn’t want them messing with his shampoo. 1) Waste of money. 2) Because I said so. 3) Grown up shampoo burns the eyes like a sonofabitch.

In a matter of seconds, they figured this last bit out for themselves. Is it wrong that I laughed? I held them under the spray of the water, which only served to increase their screams and howls. But as quickly as I could, I rinsed the copious amounts of shampoo. I held their heads under the spray and wiped at their eyes.

They sure smelled good as I bundled them in their towels. Will they mess with Daddy’s shampoo again? I’m sure they will, but I doubt they will pour it all over their heads though.

Out of Shampoo

Note to self: Hide the shaving cream and the razors.
