Captain Underpants

Son #1 and I were riding in the car last year when we passed through a construction site.

Son #1 (plugging his nose): "What is that smell?"
Me: "It's coming from those trucks that are repaving the road."
Son #1: "Oh I get it. Is that why they put the 'ass' in asphalt?"

Damn. There are adults who don't get the subtle nuances of the English language as well as a six year old.

Thank you Captain Underpants.
