And now I’m a butt kisser
TheMonk, in typical boy fashion, rolled off the couch today and landed squarely on his bottom. The bad news is that his bottom hit a toy and the pain radiated up his little body and out his mouth in a very vocal scream.
I ran over and scooped him up and asked where his “owie” was. He pointed to his posterior and I started to rub it to make him feel better.
Rubbing it, however, wasn’t good enough. This was a serious injury that required the best possible remedy in our household. Something that makes all injuries disappear at an instance.
“KISS IT!” he screamed.
“KISS MY OWIE! KISS IT, DADDY!”
*Sigh* This is another thing they don’t tell you about before you have kids.

Been there, done that. Although I have developed the idea of a “rubbed-on kiss,” where I kiss my fingers and then rub it on the owie spot. Saves me from having to bend over and kiss someone’s bottom/foot/ankle/etc. Not quite as effective as a lip-planted kiss, but good enough in a pinch. Patent pending.

This is one of the great advantages of signing with your kids. Sure, they say it’s good for their brains, but really, there are three major benefits; reduced screaming from your pre-verbal child, the ability to sign kisses onto body parts no matter how disgusting they may be at this moment, and the ability to communicate to your partner across a crowded room without yelling “We’re going to the potty”.

ya i’ve kissed several little hineys in this household. And my kids have kissed each others butts as well. Nothing funnier then watching one kid kiss their sisters butt.

I think you have gone above and beyond fatherly duties.
Once again. Nice job!

My sons’ boo-boos require two kisses for proper healing. Anytime one of them gets hurt the “two kisses, two kisses” chant is soon to follow. Fortunately, the kisses can be delivered remotely by kissing our hands and then blowing the kiss to the injured party.

Above and behind… I mean, beyond.
But… you’d better get used to it. You’re playing me this week
