Stinky pits
About a month ago my 3 year old son and I were hanging out. He reached up my sleeve to touch my arm pit and my immediate reaction was to jump up and say “get out of dem stinky pits?” He pulled his hand away and started to laugh. A lot.
Fast forward a couple weeks and now he is either trying to be sneaky and get into my stinky pits or he will sincerely ask me to touch my stinky pits.
But it’s not just a quick touch now. He will rub them in the most stinkiest of times and just take a big sniff of his hands and say “mmmm stinky.” Or he will offer the stinky to me saying “do you want some stinkys?” Or he will lick his hands after getting in there. Yes lick his hands with my armpit sweat on them.
Now I’m not like a stinky guy. I use deodorant and shower regularly but with the hot weather and my family is in the process of moving there has been more stink to go around.
At this point now I have expressed to him that this is my body and he needs to ask before touching me in places that I don’t feel comfortable. So now we will be cuddling or something and he will respectfully ask for the pits. OR try to sneak in a quick stinky pit hit when we are rough housing.
Is this normal behavior? Is this something that anyone else has experienced?
