The gift that keeps on giving

Having children makes you do thing you never thought you would. I mean, all sorts of bodily fluid that you never wanted to be in contact with, EVER, become the norm and something you don't give much of a second thought to. It is one thing to experience it yourself, but another to watch your husband experience it.

This is my second marriage. I came into this marriage with a child so I had already been versed in the bodily fluids experience. My husband; however, was a virgin in this territory. I am happy to say that 2 years and 3 kids later, he is as nonchalant about these things as I am. Case in point:

A few days ago I was holding both twins, rendering me fairly helpless, so I asked my husband if he could wipe our daughter's nose. Without hesitation, he grabbed a tissue and proceeded to wipe her nose and wipe her nose and wipe her nose. At one point he gave up and used his fingers. Then he said, "Man, this is the gift that keeps on giving. I mean, it is like an iceberg. What you see is just the tip of what is actually there!"

I thought that was a truly entertaining description and oh so true. If you don't have children yet, just wait, when they arrive you too will no longer find things as gross as you thought you would.
