Kids ask the cutest questions and I adore them for it! Here is a conversation with my 3rd born son from last week.
C-man (with a rather inquisitive look on his face): "Mommy?"
Me: "Yes honey."
C-man: "Is there really such a thing as stink lines?"
Me: "Stink lines?"
C-man: "Yeah. You know. The lines that come off of someone who is really smelly."
Me: "Oh." trying desperately hard not to laugh "No honey. No such thing."
This particular son of mine is quite the sensitive soul and does not care to be laughed at. I remained stoic until he left the room at which time I ran directly to his father....
"OMG!!!! You'll never believe what C just asked me!!! OMG!!! He is so stinkin' cute!!!!"
I tend to be quite visual. A big part of the reason I found the question so funny is due to the fact that I instantly imagined him walking around this whole time looking for 'stink lines' on people to see if they truly exist. I honestly don't believe I ever thought 'stink lines' were a 'real' thing. Then again, I wasn't obsessed with Garfield cartoons either.
In honor of C-man, I would like to introduce you to Candy!
If ever there were a creature worthy of stink lines, it would be Candy. She's an old beagle that lives in our neighborhood. We became acquainted with her through numerous yard escapes. The first time she showed up at our door she stunk to high heaven! You could hardly get near her as she was covered in something with an unGodly smell. We called the vet on her rabies tag. They tracked down the owners. Several years later and many more visits, (we have since exchanged info. w/the owners as they always call us when she disappears and we now know where to return her), she shows up as if visiting old friends, always stinking. It's as if she stops and rolls in all the local dog piles on her way over.

Candy, you are such an absolute sweetheart but that scent you wear does not do you justice!

beagles are my favorite...i think there is something about their
inclination to escape and run free
that just gives my wanderlust
happy shivers.
I had a beagle, Oliver, who we were forever having to seek and find. Loved him dearly.
wonderful comment by your little man:):):)

So wonderfully innocent, great post!
Oh that is too cute! The beagle too! I think that is truly beagles...my daughter has one.
Oh the beagles nose over rides their brains and off the go howling and barking and letting you know they found something and their so darn excited about it..and just incase if you don't come looking for them they go and roll in it and really smear a good coat of it on them...I have a mixed terrier and not sure if beagle is there but looks like and he's gets all excited about stuff and then rolls in it..but too funny that your son's imagination lead him to visualize it that way...you'll be remembering this one for a while.
This is a stinkin' cute post, all the way around. Your daughter has such cute legs and a cute monkey dress on. Yep, all around cute.
LMAO!! Ok don't tell that I laughed but that is THE CUTEST question ever! LOVE the beagle pic too...heehee!!!
