The Chapstick Cure

Brooklyn got a cut on her finger tonight. I had her wash it and we were going to put on Neosporin and a bandaid, but couldn't find the Neosporin. I knew she wouldn't know the difference as long as she couldn't see the tube of chapstick that I applied instead. It made me think of Brent. Chapstick is to Brent as Windex is to the Dad in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. He carries it with him everywhere and uses it on whatever ails ya. If my hands are dry and in need of lotion, and he's sitting next to me in church, I can count on them being smeared with Chapstick before sacrament meeting is over. He comes by this honestly. He insists that he inherited this trait from his father.
