They get it from their dad. He won't even try to deny this. I'm aware of the situation, and am fully prepared to take age-appropriate action the instant, and I mean the VERY INSTANT, my girls are bothered by it. Shortly after dance the other night, we were on our way to pick up my niece to babysit, and the following conversation occurred:
Kate: Do my legs look like an ape?
My thoughts: What the hell went on at dance?
What I said: Excuse me?
Kate: Do. My. Legs. Look. Like. An. APE?
My thoughts: As soon as I get to the bottom of this, I am going to KILL whoever it is that said this to my darling and precious and good child.
What I said (in a totally reasonable tone of voice): Did someone say something to you at dance?
Kate: Mommy, what are you talking about? I'm wondering if my legs look like an ape when I have them all twisted up like this.
I glance in the rearview mirror, and sure enough, her legs are all twisted up Indian style.
Paranoid much?
As for my other child, she wandered in to my piano lessons with distinct odor surrounding her, and I asked her if she pooped in her pants, and she said, like I was completely stupid, "No. It's in my unnerwears."

Just make sure you get to them with instructions (when appropriate) before they take the razor to themselves. I know from my own experience...it hurts. :)
Don't worry, I'm on a mission to bring hairy legs back into fashion.
One word...laser. From a female with the same unfortunate hairy legs genes as her brother.
Funny story! As for solutions, I like April's plan. I saw a girl going through laser treatment last year...ummmm. No way. It looked like she had leprosy, and even then, the laser treatment is only temporary apparently, so you get to be leprous more than once.
Eleven...that's how old they will be before they have to start shaving or wear a shirt for that matter...
Sadly,I write this from experience.
Much love,

LOL to both stories. As we are in our own potty training nightmare here in Houston, I especially appreciate and empathize with the poopy unnerwear though!
