Lint-erally Speaking...

Nathan was playing with one of those roll-of-masking-tape-turned-inside-out-on-a-stick thingies and was picking up dust, etc. on the sofa, on the walls, and even himself. He asked Laura, "what is this, mommy?!" She told him it was a "tape roller". Later, he ventured back to where I was, and rolled my shorts while I brushed my teeth. "Look at this tape roller!" he said. I informed him that it was called a "lint roller". He repeated, "that's a lint roller!", and scurried down the hall. The next thing we know, he shows up with a sheet of lint on his roller and his pants. "Where did you get all that lint, son?" I asked. "From the dryer!" he said matter-of-factly.
