Conversation With The Snake

The Setting: We are sitting at church and three young men come sit down in front of me and my three boys after having just passed the sacrament.

Snake - "Mom! That boy has bug bites all over his face!"

Me - "SHH....

the rest of the conversation is in hushed whispers

Me - "They aren't bug bites. They're zits."

....

Snake - "Mom?"

Me - "What?"

Snake - "Whats zits?"

Me - "Your body changes when your a teenager and you can get this white stuff under your skin. When you squeeze it really hard it will shoot out of your face like a rocket."

Snake - "Cool."

Me - "Ya."

.....

Snake - "But Mom?!?!"

Me - "What baby?"

Snake - "Do zits hurt?"

Me - "Ya"

.....

Snake - "Mom?"

Me - "Yes"

Snake - ".... I don't want to be a teenager."
