Cute baby's mother tells Briefly News her child loves dirt
Speaking to Briefly News, Monique Maluleke, the mother of the dirt-rolling bundle of joy, said that she used to be mad when he would play with sand because of how dirty he would get.
"I'd remove him because of how dirty he would get, and it ruined his clothes, especially the light clothes. But kids being kids, he would still go back within a minute. So I realized how happy he is when he plays with sand or mud," she said.
"He enjoys getting dirty, sticking his fingers in the dirt, and just being a kid, so I decided to let him be and allow him to enjoy being a kid. I then decided to clothe him in dark clothes, so I wouldn't have to worry about him ruining his clothes with dirt."
