Omen

You just know it's going to be a great day when your 3-yr-old hollers from another room, "Mom! Mom! Come quick!" You run, crossing your fingers that this doesn't involve a trip to urgent care. You turn the corner to see him standing in the middle of the room, smiling, with a plastic Devil's pitchfork stuffed down his pajama bottoms.

"Mom, I've got a trident in my pants. I wanted you to see it before I took it out."

You nod and walk away. Because what else can you really say?

So where did he get the Devil's Pitchfork anyway? Was it a costume or by your own description, did it mysteriously show up in his crib?

I'm not sure where it came from...probably the same place he got the Playdough pentagram set.

The old line about the trident down the pants. It never worked for me. Wait until he is a teenager.

Is that a trident in your pants, or are you just...

...yeah, you know the rest.

What did your father tell you about tridents in your pants, hmm?

Didn't the VP pick you up by saying he had an enchanted longstaff in his pants?
