Dirt Boy

Meet Fister Farnello.  He loves dirt.  His mother loves clean.  One day, she discovers him, hiding in the corner, playing in the dirt.  She tries to clean it up and he runs away into the forest to live with the giant dirt man, until he almost gets eaten and returns home to live a clean existence forever. 

Ok, so that's a book we have (very short synopsis), but the first part is based on a real live story (see below).

 And this is the part where I say that I wish I had a better camera (or was a better operator, whatever), because the picture is blurry.  Darn.

Aw, my little man loves to leave his mark!!
