Thumbs Up for Summer

Summer made a bright and beautiful appearance.  A trip to the local frozen yogurt shop seemed like the perfect way to celebrate.  And by celebrate, I mean it was Wednesday.  The drive was, of course, the usual lively affair.  All three boys were wet, having just finished "washing" the car, and everyone was excited.

"Dad, do the people at the yogurt store allow boys with wet clothes?" Logan asked, with an edge of concern.

"Yes, Logan."

"Do they allow boys with owies?"

"Yes, Logan.  They allow boys with wet clothes, owies, eyelashes, elbows, freckles and shoes on the wrong feet," I assured him.

"But no earwigs," Ashley added.

As his older brothers began to join in, Logan fell silent, assumedly to concentrate on putting his shoes back on the correct feet.

"Dad?  Do they allow boys with thumbs?" he asked with renewed unease.  "`Cause I have two!"

Oh, too bad.  You'll have to leave one in the car.
