sugar bugs

moms sometimes come up with cute little names for the disgusting bodily fluids that fill our days. admit it, you know you have nicknames for somethings too. it makes the days easier.

in this house we use the term "sugar bugs" to cover various and sundry things from eye goop to snot to plaque on our teeth. somehow it has made the removal of these things less dramatic. last night as i was settling in, with 3 kids tucked safely in their beds, to watch some quality tv i heard that familiar pitter patter of feet coming my way. this is what greeted me when i looked up...





















when asked "what are you doing?" he simply replied "mom, i am catching the sugar bugs before they come out!"
