Like most moms, I kiss a lot of boo boos. It's kind of amazing how a crying child will hold his hurt, little finger out to you and whimper, "kiss it!" in between sobs, then completely stop crying as soon as you do. Moms are powerful people with miraculous healing powers!

Today Thomas bit his tongue at breakfast. Do you see where this is going? He stuck his tongue out at me, then managed to lisp, "kith it!"

I refused. Some things just ain't right to do amongst kin folk.
