standard kindergarten issue

While driving home from school today, Houdini and I were admiring Brick's standard Kindergarten issue "Milk box-Graham cracker-Gingerbread house". While beautiful in it's kindergarten-ness, it was pretty much demolished. I asked if he sat on it. He responded, "No, my belly smashed it."

While admiring, Houdini coughed repeatedly. Brick, eager to defend his masterpiece, emphatically replied, "DON'T cough on my gingerbread house!" Houdini responded heartily, "I DIDN'T!!! I coughed on Mom!"

That would definitely explain my current state of sore throat and overall malaise.

Some people use tissues, others use Mom. It's nice to be needed.
