Tongue Twister

"Dad, I'm trying to pull my tongue out," he said, grabbing it with both hands and pulling as hard as he could.

"Why are you doing that, again?" I wanted to know.

It wasn't that I wanted to know as much as I thought it would be an important piece of information to provide to the ER attendant.

"Cause I want to see if my tongue is still orange."

You know, I'm really glad I saw you eat that entire box of orange Tic Tacs - it will save me the trouble of calling the men in white coats.  By the way - remind me to tell you all about mirrors.
