Boy Talk In The Kitchen

I'm cutting up a cantaloupe and Eric is standing behind me wearing his head weights. (Chiropractic care -- I highly recommend it).

Nine-year-old Spencer comes downstairs, all morning freshness.

"Hey!" he says to his daddy.

"Good morning, Spencer!"

There are a few seconds of belly-fart sounds. I've come to the conclusion that this strange ritual is some sort of male bonding thing. I'm not sure I'll ever understand Spencer's need to blow raspberries on his father's stomach, but I continue to slice fruit as though the room is silent.

"What's that thing on your chin?" Spencer says.

"Huh?"

"There's something sticking on your chin. It looks like a boogie."

I swallow hard and keep slicing the cantaloupe.

There's a bit of shuffling. Eric walks up to the garbage can and tosses something in.

"So that's where that boogie went."

And I'm supposed to feel like eating breakfast after this.

Hahaha!

Hey, I caught Ty'Lain with his finger in Mathyn's nose, during lunch time yesterday. It made me wonder how many other times that's happened (or how many times Mathyn has "helped" Ty'Lain) that I don't know about. Actually, it's probably better if I don't know....

In true boy form, Spencer has demonstrated that though we are Neanderthal in nature, we males keep a running inventory of our boogies. We know each and every one.
