Day 2 - Son walks back into the kitchen holding a towel to his face.
Me, "Why do you have a towel on your face?"
He moves the towel.
Other child, "What is that on your face?"
Me, after a long pause, "I told you not to touch it. Leave it alone. It's red because you fooled with it and now it is irritated."
Not the most pleasant morning ride to school.

Day 5 - Son walks into the kitchen.

Other child, "How about Steve?"
