Going Around

Kim, my six-year-old daughter, was broken out and wanted to know why she had the chicken pox.

I said, "Chicken pox is going around ... and a lot of other stuff, too."

She surmised. "Something is always going around."

I said, "Just about." And left it at that.

About a month later Kim was playing, and she put on one of my bras.

Her daddy laughed and said, "Girl, what are you doing with that bra on?"

Kim put one hand on her little hip and explained. "Daddy, don't you know? The boobs have been going around. And sooner or later, I know I'm gonna catch it!"
