Smear!

Maddy was getting ready to take a shower but made a quick detour into the W.C. (water closet) first. On the way, she had to walk in front of me, buck naked.

She fanned out one hand behind her fanny as she scampered by, and called out: “Smear!”

Hunhhhh?

“You know: like, on America’s Funniest Home Videos, they always have a SMEAR in front of anybody’s . . . well. . . .”

Hmm. Wouldn’t it be great if we could all put a smear in front of anything we don’t want others to see? My laundry pile . . . the dirty dishes . . . the mountains of glunk in my office. . . .

PRAYER REQUEST: It’s the last day of school! Let’s lift up our teachers for extra-special TLC from You today, Lord. They are so vital to our nation’s future. They need to know that lots of little people – including Maddy, last night – are crying because the school year’s over. That’s a good sign! Jesus, may every teacher enjoy the fruit of his or her deeds, now and always, and have a great summer. (Isaiah 3:10)
