EARS

Tough question to answer this morning on the way to school. The boys just got their hair cut short and spiky which emphasizes a certain family trait.

Shef: Mom, do my ears stick out?

Me: Um, what? [buying time]

Shef: Do my ears stick out?

Me: Well... [deciding to abide by philosophy of honesty] I'm sorry to tell you that all of our ears stick out. You get it from me. Super sorry.

Mac: MY ears don't stick out.

[His are actually the worst of all of our ears]

Me: I love your ears. Your ears look great.
