A few weeks ago, I shared with a friend an amusing story about my youngest son...
"This morning, I took Benjamin to the doctor for his annual physical. He and I were talking after the appointment about vaccinations, and he wanted to know all the variations of Hepatitis. I explained to him Hepatitis A is usually caused by consuming contaminated fruits and vegetables, and before I could say any more....
He grabbed my arm, looked at me with a deadpan stare from those beautiful blue-gray eyes, raised his eyebrow, smirked, and said "Obviously, I don't have to worry about ever getting Hepatitis A." I laughed. "Don't worry, Mom. You don't have to worry about fruits and vegetables ever touching these lips." His timing is impeccable."
Yesterday, Benjamin and I were watching CNN and the news included a report about the fatal outbreak on food-borne illness involving cantaloupes. Those beautiful eyes caught my attention, and he said "I told you Mom, fruits and vegetables are never touching these lips."
I am so blessed to be his Mom.
