About 6 years ago, before we were married, GrumpyDaddy and I traveled to Ireland to visit some of his family. One of his cousins came over from England with her children to meet up with us during our visit. One of her sons was about 3 and tended to rip his clothing off at all times and run around naked. GrumpyDaddy and I had several discussions about this, all of which started out along the lones of, “Can you believe that Johnny runs around naked all the time?” and invariably ended with, “We will NEVER let our kids behave like that!”
Fast forward to 2009. We have two children and every night before bathtime, they love to rip off their clothes and run around the house. Indeed, despite the freezing cold weather that has settled in here, they throw a fit if I don’t let them run around naked for a while.
And let me tell you, nothing is funnier than watching little kids run around naked. Well, maybe little kids cursing, but I will NEVER let my kids behave like that.
Anyway, I think it’s hilarious. GrumpyDaddy is appalled (he gets points for consistency). My kids love it. Life is weird.
