Kids are messy because they don't know how to clean, but despite the fact that tiny humans are a sponge for knowledge, learning, and information, it seems that cleanliness is something they reject entirely. You've watched your toddler navigate an iPad with flourishing excellence but when it comes to eating dinner, they've got sauce on every part of their body (literally). A kid can learn multiple languages with ease, but keeping the water in the tub during bath time is downright impossible. So for parents who have a particularly messy kiddo, it's an endless battle of cleanliness in your household, where the vacuum is never quite strong enough and you run out of wipes on a semi-daily basis.

Your grubby goblin may be the dirtiest child at the playground, but they're YOUR hot mess. So stock up on baby wipes and make sure you always have your mini hand sanitizer, because your child has left the building and they'll inevitably get into some good ol' fashioned filth. Fun!
