My family was out to eat around the time my daughter was 8 or so. It was a burger and fry type place so naturally, being the mustard enthusiast that I am, I had one of those small cups of mustard on the side for dipping. Suddenly an epiphany! I smelled the mustard, made a confused look and proceeded to repeat. This went on a couple of times until I had everyone’s attention. When asked why I was smelling the mustard I sincerely replied that it smelled kind of funny. My daughter (and this is the magic that I was waiting for) asked if she could smell it? Of course you can darling! I gingerly lifted the mustard cup to her nose and as she leaned in to take a big whiff I jammed that cup of delicious mustard right onto her nose! The look of bewildered surprise was priceless and worth the cries of despair and rage emitted by my wife. Don’t worry, after the initial shock of my act faded everyone at the table was rolling with laughter, even my daughter, thankfully she seems to have inherited my sense of humor. We still laugh about that to this day, though my daughter won’t put her face near anything that I’m holding haha. Thanks for the great comics and letting me share a bit here.
Very fashionalble :-)
Gotta love the weird kids. They’re the best.
Don’t show her honey mustard, her mind might blow!
