With my 4-year-old daughter with Down syndrome...

Today...
I'd like to introduce one of our family's "mysterious traditions" ꉂ🤣w‪𐤔

I'll say this first.

This is...
Completely started by Mom‼️
Not Dad‼️
This is important ( •̀∀•́ )✧

You see, in our house...

For some reason, for a long time now,
a "cute-butt culture"
has existed.

Going back in time... Dad
has reached the rank of "God of Cute Butts"‼️
And my daughter has inherited that‼️

...What is this family talking about?
For those of you who thought that.

You are correct ꉂ🤣w‪𐤔

One day.

While Mom was chasing after
my daughter's chubby, cute butt,

saying "So cute~💕".

My daughter

"Poo~"
...A small sound echoing in the quiet space.

Then Mom.

With a surprisingly straight face,

"Stinky‼️"

she said, while doing the pose of pinching her nose‼️

My daughter

burst into laughter ꉂ🤣w‪𐤔
Mom also burst into laughter ꉂ🤣w‪𐤔

That was the beginning...

Of when this mysterious culture started to evolve...

Now, my daughter,

"Pwease do it‼️"
(in a high voice)

saying that,
for some reason, she strikes a smug pose ꉂ🤣w‪𐤔

Mom, not to be outdone,

"Pwease do it‼️"
(in a high voice)

she responds.

And then the two of them

"Stinky‼️‼️"

they say while pinching their noses and bursting into laughter ꉂ🤣w‪𐤔

...What is this ritual ꉂ🤣w‪𐤔

Recently it has evolved even further...

and finally, even Dad is getting dragged into it.

My daughter

"Pwease do it‼️✨️"

Dad

"Pwease do it ꉂ🤣w‪𐤔"

...

............

..................

"Stinky‼️‼️‼️ ꉂ🤣w‪𐤔"

My daughter bursts into laughter.
Mom bursts into laughter.

Only Dad takes mental damage ꉂ🤣w‪𐤔

So,
lately our house

is made of
laughter and
"Stinky‼️"

( ˙-˙ )

But there is just one thing...

Dad has a wish.

At daycare or the developmental support center...
I pray from the bottom of my heart
that she doesn't suddenly

start saying "Pwease do it‼️"...

ꉂ🤣w‪𐤔

But if the teacher says

"Lately, 'stinky' has been trending..."

then...
Dad will probably
burst out laughing ꉂ🤣w‪

Oh, right...

When it comes to this, naturally the original God of Cute Butts will take action, right!?

Dad says to Mom

"Pwease do it!!"

...

ヽ(#ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ┌┛Σ(ノ´Д`)ノ

...Huh? (ﾟДﾟ)

............I'm the original god of cute butts, you know!?

Cute but... ヽ(´･∀･)ﾉ┌┛)`ωﾟ).':;･､

This world is so unreasonable!! ꉂ🤣w‪𐤔

Do you have any...

mysterious rules
or
unique family traditions
that have been going on in your home for a long time? ꉂ🤣w‪𐤔

Kids really do
take whatever silly thing an adult does once
and carry it on with full force, don't they? 😂

And before you know it...
it becomes a "history of laughter" unique to your family 🍀

Please,
tell me about your "mysterious culture that might only be in our house"
in the comments! ꉂ🤣w‪𐤔

"We do that too!!"
might be found there 😂

And...
to everyone who always supports us,
thank you so much! ✨️

The likes, comments, follows,
and even the tips... 😭✨️

Because of your support,
I'm able to keep writing about my daughter's daily life
and our family's chaotic episodes so happily like this 🌸
The tips I receive

are used for my daughter's Anpanman goods,
outing expenses,
and sometimes as recovery funds for Daddy's mental damage ꉂ🤣w‪𐤔
I will continue to write

heartwarming parenting essays
that make you laugh and think, "What kind of family is this?! ꉂ🤣w‪𐤔" 🍀
Likes, follows, comments,
and support tips,

they are all such a huge encouragement! 🌸
