Sometimes right before getting into bed, right after maybe I take a hot shower or soak in the Epsom salts, and after I rub the outer inside of my ear with a swab, and look at my face and put on my glasses and maybe while I'm brushing my teeth I wonder to myself why I was not nicer to my son during the day.  Why I feel the need sometimes to be hard on him so that he won't be spoiled, so that he will know discipline.  And all I want to do is go into his bed and sweep him up in my arms and kiss his perfect face.

Thanks Sam.
Actually, I'd always figured it was the one about Nicole Richie's bottom.
