Allergies

Evie piped up this morning and said, "Mom, I'm allergic to . . . boys."

I chuckled and said, "Oh really?"

Evie, "Mom. Are you allergic to boys?"

Me, "I don't think so, but that's an interesting concept."

Evie, "You're allergic to cats, right?"

Me, "Right."

Evie, "You're not allergic to boys."

Me, "Well, I guess that would explain a lot if I was . . ."
