Pariah Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I saw a thing for/about young parents. It read something like this: First kid: "He ate dirt! Get out the disinfectant!" Second kid: "He ate some dirt. Wipe his mouth off before he gets his clothes dirty." Third kid: "He ate some dirt. I wonder if I need to give him lunch...." (And someone added: Fourth kid: "I wonder if he's eating enough dirt....") L. Marcus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Yeah, slightly. Big bro and his wife have a one-year-old daughter (my goddaughter) -- her first kid, his third. I imagine some discrepancy is inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Put one of the parents in marketing, and it's "Now with 20% more dirt for you kids' growing bodies!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Then commission a science study and polish in a peer review journal that dirt has health benefits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 It depends on the dirt. In some parts of the world, dirt is eaten to combat various deficiencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
