Bung and Hole

Orion's Self Portrait, December 24, 2006, Nikon CoolPix

So my ten year old, rather miffed at his father and me, walks into the living room. He addresses me first, then his father. "You are bung," he gives me a regal nod, as if I am somehow unworthy of his attention. "And you are hole," he adds including his father in his contemptible glance. "I've made my point," he concludes and leaves the room with a flourish.

I tell you, it is impossible to discipline your child when you're laughing too hard to hold a wooden spoon. Suffice it to say he has yet to be chastised.
