mom, what are sins?

My little boy always has grey gunk (more commonly known in my family as the perfectly descriptive Spanish word "mugre", pronounced moo-gray) under his fingernails. We are constantly trying to find the best way to clean this mugre out.

Just a few days ago we found this funny old soap container that we've had for several years (a gift from my sister that still cracks me up). We filled it with soap and put it on the bathroom sink.


Harrison must have inspected it closely.



Harrison says, "Mom, what are sins?"
Mom says, "They are mistakes that people make."
Harrison says, "Oh. I thought they were those dirty things under your fingernails."

yes, Ally.

when i was younger and would have a question like that i'd think to myself "i should have asked that last year cuz now i'm too old to ask it."
