Mama?
(We're sitting on the couch. Gus just got out of the bath. He is sans clothing. He is eating a halloween cookie and getting orange and black sprinkles in his belly button. Yes, I gave my son a cookie RIGHT before going to bed, RIGHT after he had a bath. We're just chatting.)
"You're my best friend?"
"Always," I said.
...pause...
"You clean my butt?" (asked in the sweetest, most casual way)
I nod, pursing my lips, trying not to bust out laughing. It's one of those moments where laughing would confuse, and possibly unintentionally hurt feelings.
"Yes, I clean your butt."
Isn't that what best friends are for...sort of?
