Chapstick: A Tutorial

1. Apply liberally to luscious lips. Be sure to stick the lips out to cover the maximum surface area.
2. Repeat, ya know, for softness and stuff. Lick in between applications.
2. Next, rub a bit into the nostril cavity, just for good measure
3. And the inner lips, too, for taste.
5. Completely ignore your mom's request to refrain from digging into the chap stick and gouge that sucker as far as your finger can go and get a good, healthy chunk. Lick finger, sucking off every last morsel of minty goodness.
4. Return the cap, or at least pretend to by sticking it onto the wrong end until mom's not looking and you can take another nibble
6. Smile on command when mom says so. Even if you have to fake it.
7. When that doesn't work, try and charm her by imitating dad's half-crooked smile
8. Work the camera as necessary, showing off those newly soft, pillow-y lips.

Helping Grandma B Water the Lawn (and His Body)

Jude was quite expert at hydrating the dry spots....

...and his thirst....and clothes...
until he looked up at me drenched and totally weird-ed out by his squishy shoes, and I stripped him, which made watering much more effective...
