Isabella was up in my grill in the Hot Tub this afternoon:

Iz (she’s 5, by the way): Daddy, your beard has a lot of gray.

Me: Yeah, I guess so.

Iz: But your mustache is more black.

Me: Ok…

Iz: But, are the long hairs from your nose part of your mustache? You have lots of nose hair.

Me: No, not really. But thanks for noticing.

Iz: And, are the hairs from your ears part of your beard? I mean, how do you shave those?

Me: Well you can’t…. Um, do you realize that 99% of your friends aren’t soaking in a Hot Tub and bothering their fathers right now?

Iz: Yes. Well, but… Do their fathers shave their ears?

Me: Maybe, I don’t know. Probably not. Thank you for pointing that out. Please, just soak in the tub.

Iz: Yeah, but couldn’t the filter clog from all the hair?

Me: I don’t think so…. Maybe. I don’t know… Where’s my towel?… I’ve got to get out.

My humiliation is complete.
