The bad smell

As Eli was laying down for a rest this afternoon he came into the kitchen and said his hand smelled really bad.  He then asked me to smell it so I could tell him what the smell was.  Warning - if you are a parent you should NEVER fall for this.  Tell your child to promptly wash their hands.  But I was dumb, so naive.  I took a sniff, and ... it smelled like poop. "Eli, why does your hand smell like poop?" "Because my butt itched in the middle."  Naturally.
