Mooooommy, the Skinny Cow

THE SCENE: Suppertime, Monday night. Family is gathered around table, eating.

The two older boy children are discussing what they would like their mom to make for supper the next night.

SON NO.2: "Mom, you know what you should make? Milk!"

All three children chuckle and chortle to imagine that.

MOTHER: "What, do you think I'm a cow?"

She shakes her head and laughs.

SON NO.2: "Yes, you are!"

The mother slowly turns her head toward him.

SON NO.2: "Uh, I mean no! You're pretty! You're the skinniest woman in the world!"

There is a moment of silence, then the mother bursts into laughter.

MOTHER: "Boyo, you just saved your life. Keep that up and girls will fight over who gets to be your girlfriend."

The son smiles and blushes.
