Toddlers are the Worst.

Happy Saturday! What a great day to write a blog! My husband is home to watch the kids so now I can freely type without Gavin pushing me off the computer chair so he can watch Spider-man Videos and Elsa Hair Tutorials. Awesome.

It has come to my attention, more than ever, how ridiculous toddlers are. I have had conversations that I never thought would happen. Just the other day I had to play referee in a fight between my two kids. What about? Boogers. Gavin had struck gold and was so proud of the little green disgusting thing he found in his nose. (See below...see it? So proud.)

...Anyways, as he was admiring the fruits of his labor, his little sister snatched that booger right off his finger. (cue: MASS HYSTERIA) OMG IT WAS EPIC MELTDOWN TIME. 

Gavin: "Dat's MY BOOGER! I NEED THAT BOOGER! PUT IT BACK, BABYYYYY!!!"

Me: "It's OK, Gavin, you can get another one. It will be alright."

This entire time my daughter is running around with the prized booger in her hand. Every time Gavin approached her, Presley just took off...completely taunting him. There were tears and lots of yelling. (BTW, how is a mom supposed to intervene in a booger war? Like I wanted them to stop fighting but I really really didn't want to touch the booger. I've had my fair share of handling poop and other bodily fluids, but you have to draw the line somewhere, YA KNOW?)

So the Booger Battle of 2015 continued. Gavin chasing Presley. Presley laughing. Gavin crying. Finally he had her cornered. This was his moment. He might just get his booger back and win. 

THEN IT HAPPENED. It might have been in slow motion...it sure seemed like it. Gavin grabbed Presley's arm, he was inches away from reclaiming his prize. I saw it. I saw the look on her face. I knew what she was thinking. With a sly smile and a spark of crazy in her big blue eyes, she did it. She lunged for it and did it. She didn't even wince. She ATE HIS BOOGER. OMG. How can my sweet daughter be so disgusting? My gag reflex kicked in big time and my eyes started to water. (I mean, I've seen her slurp puddle water from the backyard, but our dog does that too so it's no biggie.) It's one thing to eat your OWN boogers, but someone else's? Lord help her. 

I don't know who is more scarred. Gavin who lost his booger? Or me who had to witness such a thing? All I know is whoever told me boys were gross lied to me. GIRLS are worse. 

Does this look like the face of someone that eats boogers?

Gah. This 16 month-old-Crazy-Lady is going to give me gray hair.
