The adventures of little boy Finn

A scatological tale

Daddy is not including the picture that Mama sent him, just so you know. Here’s what she texted Daddy: Here is your son taking a crap in your front yard. He said he didn’t have to while we were still in the house. Then, right after we stepped outside, door locked, he said he HAD […]

Oh no, part 73

Finny: “Hey Rickie, would you smack my ass?!”

Finny asked Mama for help

Mama & I had this conversation last night! Finn: “Mama, will you help me put on my jammies?” Me: “You can put your jammies on by yourself.” Finn: “But I want you to help me!” Me: “But you know how to put your jammies on all by yourself!” Finn: “Please, woman!”
