Preemptive Strike

Logan lay in bed, waiting for me to sing a bedtime song.

"Eww.  I smell rhubarber sauce," he said, wrinkling his nose.

And?

"It's not going to be very good," he pointed out.

Punk.  I am impressed that you know what rhubarb is, let alone smells like, but don't you have to taste it before you hand out the blue ribbon?  As a matter of interest, do you often have occasion to sample rhubarber sauce?

"I don't want to taste any," he said.

Fine.  I've heard a rumor that it's not going to be very good anyway.
