Wipe Your Mouth


Twin brothers, age 10, huddle intimately over their long-awaited video game player which has arrived via special delivery. Working feverishly, forehead to forehead, they jockey for control to plug in all required cords.

Their father, in an adjacent room, overhears this conversation.

BROTHER 1, with animated disgust: "Mom’s right, your breath reeks!"

BROTHER 2, defiantly: "No it doesn’t!"

BROTHER 1, louder, feigning gagging:  "Uuuughkkk!"

BROTHER 2, making an excuse:  "It’s probably from the snack I just had."

BROTHER 1, not buying the story:  "Beef jerky doesn’t smell like poop!"

Father, unprepared for youthful bluntness, proudly sprays beer from his nose. ~L
