Blinking Eyes

I had this conversation with Josh this past Sunday morning (6/26/11):

Josh: Why do we blink our eyes?
Me: Explain that blinking keeps the sand and dirt and other stuff out of our eyes.
J: And grass?
M: Yep, grass too.
J: And bacon?
M: Yes, it keeps bacon out too.

We weren't eating bacon that morning, so who knows where he came up with that. He and Mary sure do crack us up with the things they think of!
