From the mouths of babes

"No.  Kiss me here, on the cheek.  I think I am getting a cold sore."
I hear this about once a month (maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration..) but I try really hard not to take it personally.
Our daughter looks up from her video game.
 "What?"
"Your dad has lip fungus."
I know this sounds mean, but really it is a reference to an old cell phone commercial and we all have a very demented sense of what is funny or even appropriate.
Attempting to stay positive, I quickly add -
 "But he is only looking out for me.  He wouldn't want me to get it."
"Or............ he just doesn't want to kiss you."
Ouch.
