Misnomer

While riding in the car today after our play date at McD's rubbing Strawberry Shortcake lipgloss all over his face, Nathan pipes up from the backseat: Peweee! I smell a stunk, Mama!

Me: It's called a "skunk", Bud.

Nathan: Well, why does the stunk, stink, then? (Definite attitude in that last statement)

Me: That is how the skunk keeps enemies away from him.

Nathan: Well, I like the stunk. He is really nice on Higgly Town Heroes.
