Ex-Pee-riment

McKay is really into "experiments" right now. These generally consist of his filling a cup or the bathroom sink with water then mixing in random ingredients to see what the results are.
 A few days ago I was feeding Lily (these things always seem to happen when I'm feeding Lily) and Benson and McKay were strangely quiet. I finished feeding her and went to check on them. I found them both in their bathroom. They were both standing on their bathroom stool and splashing in their latest experiment. I walked in and asked what they were up to.
 "We're doing an experiment, Mom." McKay excitedly reported. I looked at their experiment and a little alarm started sounding in my head. The water in the bathroom sink looked very suspiciously yellow.
With not a little trepidation in my voice I asked, "What's in your experiment?" To which McKay gleefully responded, "PEE!"
I visibly gagged and practically shouted, "GROSS!" which of course made them both start laughing hysterically and splashing even harder.
"Did you pee in the sink?" I asked.
"No, Mom, we peed in the toilet then got our cups and poured it from the toilet into the sink!"
More laughter ensued as I scolded them about the nastiness of pee. Somehow they didn't seem phased by my warnings at all.

*I'm gagging even now as I write this.* BOYS!

Hahaha, I love this. I mean, it's disgusting of course, but it's such a typical boy story! They sure keep life entertaining. :)

What a great boy story!!!!! You know...technically pee is sterile, and you can drink it three times before it becomes too toxic, you know, according to Bear Grills that outdoorsy survival guy, but I wouldn't tell McKay that just yet...
