Little Johnny, a curious and energetic five-year-old with a knack for asking questions at the absolute worst possible times, came bounding down the hallway just as his mother was stepping out of the shower.
Not missing a beat, Johnny pointed a small, inquisitive finger at her and asked, “Mommy, what’s that?”
His mother froze. Her eyes darted to exactly where he was pointing, and a deep blush crept up her neck. Flustered and caught completely off guard, she quickly grabbed a nearby loofah, stammered, “Well, dear… that is my… sponge. Yes, my special bath sponge.”
Content with this perfectly logical answer, Johnny nodded happily and ran off to play with his toys.
About twenty minutes later, Johnny trotted back into the living room, looking hopeful. “Mommy, may I play with your sponge?”
His mother’s eyes widened in sheer panic. She waved her hands dismissively, her heart rate spiking. “Why, no, you may not, sweetheart! I… I lost it. It’s gone.”
“Okay!” Johnny chirped, entirely pacified by this explanation, and headed back out to the backyard.
The house was quiet for a while. Mom finally relaxed, pouring herself a much-needed cup of coffee in the kitchen.
Suddenly, the back door flew open. Johnny raced in, his face beaming with absolute triumph. “Mommy! I found the sponge! I found the sponge!”
His mother choked on her coffee, her eyes wide with horror. “You… you did?” she squeaked, her mind racing through a dozen terrible possibilities. “Where on earth did you find it?”
Johnny puffed out his chest, incredibly proud of his detective work. He pointed a tiny finger toward the hallway.
“In the bathroom!” he announced cheerfully. “The maid has it, and she’s washing Daddy’s face with it!”
