A little back story. He’s on a golf scholarship for college, 2 1/2 hours away. He has just recently learned to cook. Well recently as in the 1st year he left for college. He’s in his 2nd year now. Last year, his biggest epiphany when it came to cooking was that now he realized why I had two full cabinets full of spices. This years epiphany summed up in one phone call…
1st born: Hey, um, so…please don’t laugh, but um, my balls are on fire right now. And I don’t know why.
Me: (trying not to laugh) Well, have you eaten anything weird, I mean, what have you been doing in the last hour? (keep in mind, I’d just talked to him 20 minutes prior and he was fine)
1st born: Well, I cut onions earlier.
Me: (laughing now) Alright, well first off son, when you cut onions always wash your hands and secondly, don’t scratch your balls if you haven’t washed your hands after you cut onions. Now go get in the damn shower!!!
It’s a damn good thing that boy can play golf!! Hopefully that will carry him further than his common sense!!
Is it wrong that I belly laughed at him? :)
