The Saturday before last, 8 AM, while just waking up:
Sweetie arriving by bed, leaning in and poking my face: "What that?"
Me: "Well, that's a big zit."
Sweetie, thinking for a moment, then: "No big. Huge. Huge zit." Poke, poke.
Me: "Thank you, Sweetie. It's always nice to know the truth."
*Sorry for the hiatus. Internet problem followed by holidays. Back in full force, I hope!*
