The real title of this post could possibly use the "streakers defence" or "it seemed like a good idea at the time". Encouraging your kid to play in the mud. So here's the down side in full visual force for you. Here's the other downside I discovered today. The normally unused screen door lock had to be used today, but it was jammed up with mud from above mentioned learning experience (muddy hands turning the knob to get in). Consequently we stood for 5 minutes in the VERY cold wind attempting to jam the key into the lock, past the mud, now turned to a powder very simliar to cement....
