...Like a Fox

Our wiley son, aka the love of our lives, will do ANYTHING to get out of falling asleep each night. Usually it's the request for the extra hug...kiss...water...milk...story...snuggle...you name it. Today, as has been usual for the last few weeks, I gave him a bath and Jim read him his stories.
About 10 minutes after Jim came downstairs after finishing storytime, we started hearing, "waah waah wahhhhh....wwaaah waaah waaahh..." Clearly a ploy for attention - and not real cries. Jim went up there to encourage him to be quiet and came down with this explanation for the crying:

"A booger jumped out of my nose and it scared me...it was ouchy."

heh.
