Compliments part 2

Being over 40 I tend to experience times where I have some extra heat radiating from my usually cold body. After work today I took 3/5 kids and got groceries and headed home to make supper. Bob came home just after 5pm and was feeling a bit chilly. He came up behind me as I was preparing supper and slipped his freezing cold hands under the back of my shirt and onto my warm back.

I cringed at how cold his hands were. Noah was standing nearby and I said to Bob, why don't you put your hands on Noah to warm up and Bob said..... Wait for it..... Wait for it......
" I can't, he's skinny."

I turned and looked at Bob and he said, "I know that didn't come out right." I told him there is no way to take back that one. And I laughed and laughed and laughed.

Then he tried to explain the reasoning between being a skinny kid and body heat and he bumbled over something to do with warmth and comfort. It just got better and better.
