C.E. Murphy Quote

Billy, I can’t even pick my nose without using a finger. Sometimes my mouth should stop and consult my brain before it says anything. Billy got this wide-eyed look of admiration that belonged on a nine-year-old boy. It said, Wow, that was really gross, and, more important, How come I didn’t think of it? My mouth consulted my brain this time, and I asked, I don’t suppose you could just forget I said that? No, Billy said, in a tone that matched the admiration still in his eyes. I don’t think I can. I’m going to have to tell that one to Robert. Melinda will kill you.
