I only include this, because I like to depict all sides of my children.
And lately, one side I need to depict is the how one of my kids is neat and tidy, and another is disgusting.
Look below:

Do you know how many talks I have had with Miss Priss?
Wouldn’t you think this is a boy problem?
Not in my house.
My boy has the bottom pair of underpants.
But after a little investigation, I finally figured out the problem.
Micah told me that he always knows who didn’t flush the toilet.
(Another problem in and of itself.)
If it is full of tons of toilet paper, it is Scout.
If it is without any toilet paper at all, it is Navy.
So apparently, when I told her that she is going to be at preschool, and she needs to learn how to wipe her own bottom, she petitioned.
I tried to teach her, I watched her, I have talked with her over and over.
But when I finally told her that the next time I found a pair of skidded up undies — they were going on her pillow that night, she magically learned to wipe like a pro.
I guess tough love, and a little threatening is the secret sauce with Icka.
