Family Life

I was washing my four-year-old’s hands for dinner tonight when he cheerfully said,

- “Daddy, I know a new trick that you don’t know.”

- “Really Joel? What’s that?”

- “I can lick my snot!”

Why oh why did I have to ask? Being exceptionally slow and not yet having learned my lesson, I blurted out,

- “So how do you do that?”

- “You stick your tongue out, and curl up the end.”

He was quite proud of his ability. At this point I stopped asking questions but it was too late. I’d seen a demonstration I’d much rather have missed, and Joel skipped off to dinner proud of his new-found skill.
