Word of the Day: Disgusting!

Yesterday I got to spend the day with my girl Miss P. We get to spend a day together almost every week and this time was one that made me laugh... again. She brings so much joy to my day. Miss P makes me laugh anyway but this one was really funny.

It was the second day of November and crazy enough it was flip-flop weather. I wanted to do some fall work in the garden so we went outside and Miss P forgot to put her flip-flops on and ended up being barefoot. Like me, she doesn’t like wet grass so her reaction was “This is disgusting!” She kept walking and with each step expressed her disgust with the wet grass. It actually wasn’t really wet, it was just damp, but to her it was too wet.

We got her flip-flops and went back out to the garden. This was a whole other story.

Tis the season for fertilizing the garden. I don’t do this every year but this was the year to do it. My goal with the garden was to get rid of a big pile of wet horse manure by spreading it across the garden.

The reaction of Miss P was priceless! There was a whole new level of disgust being expressed.

Oh. My. Word. I laughed.

Even as she used her child-size shovel, the words, “This is disgusting” kept coming out of her sweet lips.

She gave up on helping with the manure and resorted to playing in the dirt instead. That seemed much less messy in her young, innocent mind.

“This is disgusting!”

“Nana, can you make that smell go the other way?”

“This is so disgusting!”

“Nana, I can’t handle that smell!”

“You’re going a great job Nana.”

“That’s so gross!”

“That smell keeps going in my nose.”

“You’re working really hard Nana. Good job!”

“That poop is so disgusting!”

My little 3 going on 16 year old was quite the trooper with being my expressive cheerleader. She made it much more eventful and fun for me.

Love that girlie!!
