I’d like to think that at this point there aren’t a lot of things my kids can do to shock me. I know I’m naive, but seriously, these kids enjoy shocking people with their bad behavior/silliness so we’ve seen a lot. But every once in awhile they somehow manage to…shock and horrify me.

This morning I got a notification that new photos had been uploaded to our family Google Photos account. Naively thinking it was photos of our new house Mr. Spreadsheets had taken, I logged in and looked.

Wrong move.

It was a picture of someone’s butt.

And not an innocent picture of a kid’s bum, It was a photo clearly taken by one brother of another meant to shock and horrify the innocent bystander that some day happened upon it.

Oh and they took it with my phone.

That means my phone was horrifyingly close to someone’s butt.

Not a bum, a butt.

Yeah.

Why oh why do kids do this? Maybe most kids don’t do this, maybe it’s just mine.

But when I chatted with them about it after (and by chat I clearly mean I used an elevated volume, mean mom voice, and scary mom eyebrows), they just giggled.

Really?

Why is this a thing?
