Tonight I was working late into the evening, and Gabe & I had the following conversation:
Me: Gabe, work stinks!
Gabe: It does? How does the computer stink, Mom?
Me (laughing): No, not literally, hon. Work figuratively stinks. It doesn't really stink; I just don't like spending my weekend doing it.
Gabe: Oh. It stinks like working with a hammer, Mom?
Me (WOW! He got my analogy!): Yep, just like working with a hammer would be hard work.
Gabe (after a pause): And like wiping your butt is hard work?
Me (laughing hard now -- maybe he doesn't quite get the analogy!): Yeah, just like wiping your butt can be hard work and stinky! LOL!
Ahhh, children! They make every day brighter.
