Mom's Worth More than Dad

AJ called me at work today:

AJ: "Are you coming home from work early today?"
Me: "No, why, do you need it?"

AJ: "Well how do you start the grill?"
Me: "Is the gas on?"

AJ: "Yes, it won't start though"
Me: "Well sometimes the electric starter doesn't work maybe it's broken."

AJ: "That stinks"
Me: "Just get a lighter."

AJ: "What? And stick it down there?"
Me: "Yes, [we have a long neck lighter] just light it and stick it down there where the gas comes out. It will start."

AJ: with increasing hesitancy: "You just put it down there?"
Me: "Yes? Do you want me to come home and light it. That way you don't have to worry about blowing up."

AJ: "Yes, the kids need their mom."
