Dear readers, I apologize for my extended absence over the past (nearly) two weeks. I really do try to blog about twice a week, but schedules and conflicts and general fatigue sometimes win over my good intentions. Last week, though, I was trampled instead by strep throat. Ick!
I'm fully recovered now, though, and eager to recount a little anecdote for your amusement.
My son was taking a bath the other day. (No, that's not the whole story, although impressive enough in and of itself). Just as he was beginning to wash up, he asked me, "What are my nipples for?"
After I got done biting through my lip to try to keep from bursting into laughter, I replied simply, "Nothing."
"When they grow up, girls use nipples to feed babies ," I said. "But nipples don't have any particular use on boys."
As amusing as the very question itself is, if you're a reader of this blog, you know there's always a second punchline coming when it comes to my son.
With a slightly pensive, slightly puzzled look on his face, he then said, "So they're just there to make me look handsome?"
