Expendable Daddies

This morning Lincoln was setting out some new ant traps around the house. I told the kids to go into the bathroom to take a look at one so that they would know what they look like.

Lincoln: See this with the picture of the ant on it? Don't ever, EVER, touch it.

Jake: Why not?

Lincoln: Because you'll die.

Jake: Why?

Me: Because it's poison.

Jake: Why can Daddy touch it?

Me: Because Daddies have special anti-poison powers.

Jake: No they don't! You're kidding.

Lincoln (dryly): No, it's because Daddies are apparently expendable.
