The Enigma

And so my youngest has taken to tattling on me. It started with a "He's looking at me" to her mother. Usually while my wife is holding her and them buries her head into my wife's bosom. But last night the needling mental torture kicked in.

She would crawl on the floor until she got to my feet, socks on, shoes off... and take a big sniff, wrinkle her nose, and say "Stinky!" I happen to know my feet don't stink, at least not this time. My 2-year-old daughter is teasing me. It is hard to put into words how disturbing this is.

Where to go from here? A tickling contest? Do I smell her feet and say "Pew, stinky!"? Ignore it? I just don't know...
