So, I had heard of this phenomenon where little boys are mysteriously pulled toward mud. There is no cure; I guess it's not quite a disease.
My Mom had spoke of my brother having this awful infliction. Now Beanie has it. After weeks of torrential rain and lake-like puddles, the sun has finally dried up most of the backyard. But tonight I watched in amazement as Beanie ran through the grass only to be magnetically forced to change course and run through the 6 inch by 12 inch patch of mud. Once he had done it, the magnetic force got stronger and he had to push his foot down deep. Then the curse really took hold and Beanie couldn't help but stomp repeatedly with both feet.
I wasn't too worried about it; I thought as he got older, he would get stronger and be able to fight the force, but I talked with my brother later in the evening and when I asked him what he was up to, he replied, "..just working in the mud."
