My middle child is very thoughtful. He is six years old, and he’s always asking questions and pondering things. He asks questions like, “Mom, why do we have cheeks?” How do you answer something like that? I said, “To protect our teeth and the bones inside our faces.” My husband said, “So the food doesn’t fall out when we chew.” Hubby likes to be funny.
A couple of nights ago, this boy was taking a bath. He noticed the label on the shampoo bottle, which said “3-in-1,” and asked what “3-in-1″ means. I told him it’s because that product does three things to help us get cleaned up. It’s a body wash, shampoo, and hair conditioner, all in one bottle.
He thought for a minute and came up with this: “Hey, what if it was 13-in-1! Then we could get super-clean, and it would keep out the tangles forever! We would smell good and stay clean for 13 days!“
I love that boy, and I love the way he thinks.



That is so adorable!!
He must be a bundle of joy to have around!

I like to say, “Work smarter, not harder” (taken from Dilbert). I believe your son has some great potential in the future workforce. >=)
Wow, think of all the time and water which would be saved if we didn’t have to wash but for ever 13 days.
