Today we learned about ear wax. We were supposed to start growing mold, but plans changed.

This week of grossology has been quite fun. The dinner conversation's have been quite interesting. There have been a few times we've had to change the subject in order to keep our food down.

 When the kids do Mad Libs they use gross words which always usually lead to major belly roll laughs. Fun times, fun memories.

We've enjoyed watching a few neat shows this week. Grossology, Dirty Jobs, Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. These shows have certainly sparked more gross discussions. If I could sum up some of the grossosity from this week it would go a bit like this... (note: this is a spur of the moment blurb of some of the highlights of what we've learned.) I'm feeling funky... give me a break.

While fighting Dr. Evil Butts and Fartor we discovered that raising maggots for fishermen is hard and extrememly smelly work. After a hard day of cleaning arm pit bacteria and toe jam its nice to sit down and slurp on some blood soup with a side of white ants. Honestly, eating bugs isn't all that gross because some of them, speaking from experience, are quite good. My grandma used to make carob covered grasshoppers. Yum. After eating all sorts of interesting foods you do wish you had some nice air freshener because of all the bacteria doing their job in your intestines.

Well, that was just the tip of the tissue that you use to clean out your nose. There is a lot of gross stuff in this world - in your homes, on your body, in your body, down the street. Makes life interesting and sometimes embarassing.

Anyway, back to ear wax. Don't shove that q-tip to far in there. You need that precious waxy goo because it helps keep stuff out of your ear as well as killing yucky bacteria.

Here is what I served with my children's lunch.
Chicken, BBQ sauce, Applesauce and Dirty Cotton Swabs with  ear wax.
