Chapped Lips

Nathan came home from a friends house practically in tears as he explained how much his lips hurt, and how he couldn't keep from licking them. Yes...I could see that just by looking at his red, raw, severly chapped lips. Did I comfort him and give him great words of wisdom? I guess that depends on your oponion. This is what I said:


"Nathan, if you don't stop licking your lips, they are going to end up looking like a Baboons butt."


Yep. That's what I said. Nathan stopped and looked at me and smiled.


I said, "Do you know what a Baboon's butt looks like?"



Nathan, "Yes. Red and wierd."


Me: "Yep. That is exactly what I'm talkin about."


I wonder if this little "golden nugget" of information will be passed on to his children someday when they come crying to him with licked, chapped lips? :) Here's a picture in case you never watch the Discovery Channel. I'm here for you.
