Daddy’s gonna eat your fingers

This one is for everyone who:

  1. has kids
  2. had kids
  3. was a kid
  4. knows a kid
  5. is going to have kids.

I was packing for my business trip and my three year old daughter was having a wonderful time playing on the bed.  At one point she said, “Daddy, look at this,” and stuck out two of her fingers.

Trying to keep her entertained, I reached out and stuck her tiny fingers in my mouth and said, “Daddy’s gonna eat your fingers,” pretending to eat them.

Went back to packing, looked up again and my daughter was standing on the bed staring at her fingers with a devastated look on her face.

I said, “What’s wrong, honey?”

She replied, “What happened to my booger?”

(and be glad it’s not potty-training time!!!)
