My husband has a warped sense of humor. Of all things, my 7 year old watched him pull lint out of his belly button one night. DS said "Wow, that's a lot!" DH replied, "Yeah, we should save it and do something with it when we have more." DS replied, "Like make a sweater!"

So they found a jar to keep it in, and they're telling me that when there is enough, they want me to make a sweater out of DH's belly button lint!

This is the same man who said there was so much hair in the cat brush, we should use it to make a blanket.

What kind of family hav I surrounded myself with?! LOL! Oh well, they may not be right, but they're all mine!

How funny! It sounds like you have a happy family! We used to have a consignment shop. Many times buttons would come off the clothing..leaving the fuzz in the button. My husband said we should collect it and sell it on ebay. Button fuzz. Well...maybe that's an idea for you family? I wonder how much belly button fuzz goes for these days? lol

You and Hubby need to pull a slick one on your son. Find something to look like you've been getting a lot of belly button lint. Shred up the stuff from the lint filter in the dryer, something like that. Show him the full jar and tell him you're going to get started on the sweater. Then go to Goodwill or somewhere and find a natty looking sweater and tell him that's what you made! lol
