Men Are From Mars

"Dad!" Logan exclaimed as he pointed through the car window.  "I see the first star."

"Sure enough.  Did you know that that star is actually an entire planet?" I asked.

"No!  What's it called?"

"Venus," I answered.

Almost immediately I realized my mistake.

"Ohhh," he said trailing off.  I could hear the grin in his voice.  "You know what Venus rhymes with?"

Stupidity?

"Penis!" he gleefully shouted.

Then began the song..."Ve-nus, pe-nis, Ve-nus, pe-nis..."  You get the idea.

Kill me.  Kill me now.
