Question from Dante

D: "Mama, what's a swollen whinge gland?"

Me: "I'm sorry, what?"

D: "A swollen whinge gland. What is it?"

Me: "Umm..." Thinks for a minute. Light dawns. "Oh, did Daddy say that your whinge gland is swollen?"

D: "Yeah."

Me: "Well, 'swollen' means that it's bigger than normal. And the whinge gland is the part of you that makes you complain..."

D: "Oh, okay."

That wacky husband of mine.
