Never joke about people's children. Really.Ok, so it was a colleague. After work, over a beer, a few of us were chatting about STD's and other things, as you do.
The conversation later turned to her two-year old son and his latest antics,
she told us how warm, loving and open he was and how he had developed
a habit of kissing people on the mouth.
Me, finding a tie-in, quipped "Well, you better teach him not to - can't be fun being the only one in the Infants with herpes".
Seems I was the only one who found that amusing. Oh well.
