He finishes the last bite of his PB & J and dunks his paper napkin in his ice water.
Dripping water all over his chair and the floor, he wipes the jelly off his hands.
"Seth, if you need to clean your hands go wash them, don't dunk your napkin in the water. Now please go get a paper towel and clean up the water you just dripped all over."
He gets a paper towel, and as he wipes up his mess says,
"Mom. Did you know they make a towel that doesn't leave a streaky trail like other paper towels?"

The paper towel story was cute. :-)
Getting rid of basic cable TV was one of the best things my family decided to do.
Anything good comes on Netflix so we get to see what we want without commercials.
Though I watched a lot of just stupid TV. The only thing I miss is food-network and discovery channel.
The next is the computer. I blocked myself from going on my comp on cretin times of the day.
I would have had the same response....and probably wiped my hands the same way.

Maybe he just really likes saying, "streaky trail?"
Clearly, Seth's even more absorbent than the paper towels you buy.
LOVE him.
Oh Michelle, this story reminds me of what my oldest daughter told me when I was potty training her. Potty training was a "horrible" experience for me with my first. I tried and tried but nothing seemed to work. I remember so clearly putting her on the potty and me sitting on the edge of the tub with my face in my hands in complete frustration saying to her, "Why can't you just go in the potty." Although I was saying it more to myself than to her she quickly replied. "I like pampers because they fit." (which was a commericial at the time.) Yep, off came the training pants, on went the pampers and I told her, when you want to go on the potty like a big girl, you tell me. Off went the TV. It's amazing what they pick up from the TV when you don't even realize it.
And they say violence isn't learned via TV. Everything else, it seems, from the alphabet to paper towel jingles, can be.
