Kate


I had just finished washing the dirt/snot off Kate and went outside to ask Jayke to take out the recycle. K wanted to help, so she went too. The kids know that when they take out garbage/recycle that they have to wash their hands when they are finished. So, J and K come back in the house and J starts to wash his hands. K runs from the front door to the back door yelling "waddy wash, waddy wash, waddy wash". I stop her and tell her to go wash her hands and she says, "no. waddy wash." I had to sit there and think about what she was trying to tell me--why she wouldn't wash her hands. After I figured it out I just laughed. She was saying "already wash". She thought that since she had just washed her hands not 2 minutes before that she didn't have to wash them afterwards. I explained to her that it didn't matter if she had washed her hands before, when she touched the recycle she got germs on her hands and she needed to wash them off. So she tells me, "tay"(ok) and washes her hands.
