Chuckles — Something Stinks
As we opened some of the take out dishes we had bought for the family’s Sunday lunch, my six year old nephew, who was playing nearby at the computer, complained heartily, “What’s that? It’s stinks!”
My sister countered teasingly, “It’s your feet!”
My nephew objected vigorously, “No! Something stinks!”
“It’s your breath!”
“No! It’s something there!” And he pointed at the food on the dining table.
My sister advised, “Okay. Cover your nose.”
Then there was a long stretch of silence from his direction as everyone helped out in preparing the table for lunch. When we called my nephew for lunch, he stopped playing his computer game and turned his head to look at us. We all started laughing at the sight of him.
My nephew had a face mask over his nose and mouth. It seems he had taken my sister’s advice to heart and raided the medicine cabinet for something to “cover [his] nose.”
