Bashful comes in the house after having a rousing, good time outside playing with some neighborhood boys.
He bypasses the kitchen and troops downstairs to the bathroom.
He happily explains to me that there is yet another boy to play with while turning on the bathroom faucet.
I interrupt his dialogue to inform him that we do have cups in the kitchen and he is quite able to fill one with water from the kitchen sink.
The boy looks at me as if I have suggested something totally incomprehensible. His expression was like, "Why would I do something like that?" and proceeded to bend over and put his mouth in the running water.
I'm raising a bunch of barbarians.
