Ok, So He Doesn't Get It Yet

My 8-year-old son just passed by me with a messy face. I did the time-honoured old "lick the thumb and wipe the kid's face the old fashioned way" quick cleanup.

He objected.

"Daa--aa--ad! That's gross! That makes your germs get in my mouth!"

I tell him, "You came from me! Your germs are my germs!"

Then he gives me the zinger:

"I came from MOM! You MARRIED her!"

Hm.

I ponder for a moment.

Then I let him take the win on that one.

However... at some point... I believe he is going to get a bit of a surprise.
