The incredible shrinking parts

There are so many funny stories associated with parenting, but one of my favorite ones comes from when our son was about 11 years old, back when we thought that microwaves might leak radiation. We had told Garrison not to stand so close to the microwave multiple times, because he used to stand right in front of it, basically with his nose pressed against the glass watching his food going around in a circle on the microwave turn table. Plus we didn't want the nose smudges on the glass.

Well one day he was in the kitchen warming up some food and standing there with his nose to the glass and Keri looked over at him and said, "You know,...standing that close to the microwave will make your penis smaller" You should have seen how quickly he jumped back from that microwave and said, "Nu-uh!!!"

We busted out laughing, and Garrison joined in not too long after he realized she was teasing. In fact he thought it was so funny, he later played the same joke on his friend Wilson when he came over to spend the night. Easily, one of my favorite funny memories.
