Elbows

Sam is a rather sensitive boy, given to crying if he feels he’s being mocked.  That was unfortunately evident last night, when he trailed his elbow through his dinner while making a curry burrito.  To make him realize he’d done a bad thing I pointedly said “How are you going to clean that off now?”.  His instinctive reaction was to lick his elbow, which almost legendarily wasn’t going to work.  Claire and I managed to stop laughing pretty quickly, really, but he wasn’t happy.
