Today, I found myself picking a booger, and believe it or not, it wasn’t even mine! It was one of those moments where instinct kicked in—an almost primal urge to rid my child of the offending nasal hitchhiker. My daughter walked up to me, and there it was, perched on her nose like it owned the place. Without a second thought, I used my bare hands to flick it away and into the dirt, where it rightly belonged. I mean, how dare it attach itself to my sweet child? I can only imagine a nearby bird scooping it up for nest-building—what a find! I’d like to think of it as my contribution to nature. Recycling at its finest, right?
Even with witnesses around, I didn’t bat an eye. We continued our conversation as if I hadn’t just committed an act of what many would consider gross. But let’s be real: this is what moms do, and yes, it’s disgusting. I am, without a doubt, disgusting.
Using saliva to clean our kids is far from sanitary, yet I find myself doing it regularly. “Oh look, you’ve been playing with markers, my dear. Let me just lick my finger and wipe that off your face like a wild animal,” I think to myself. It’s practically a rite of passage for mothers.
Have you ever found yourself with your face buried near a diaper, questioning your life choices? You know the drill: you catch a whiff of something foul and ask your little one if they need a change. Naturally, they deny it, so you lean in closer for a reality check, risking an accidental inhale of a fart—just like taking a hit from a bong.
If only my boss could witness these skills. I should really add “expert in detecting unpleasant odors” to my resume. After all, who wouldn’t want a person on their team skilled at identifying the source of… well, let’s just say “less than pleasant” smells?
While these acts may seem repulsive to outsiders, as mothers, we develop a sort of blindness to the gross realities of parenthood. It’s a survival mechanism, one that enables us to dive headfirst into the chaos because sometimes, you just have to embrace the mess.
