Sleight of hand

I’ve been on a crusade to rid Huck of his Nuk obsession. I’m on this crusade by myself. My wife wants nothing to do with it. Huck with a Nuk makes life a lot easier than Huck without a Nuk.

While putting Huck to bed tonight, I asked him if it was possible to go to bed without a Nuk. He nodded.

I stood up to place him in his new big boy bed. He had a Nuk in his mouth before I lied him down.

“I thought you were going to try to go without a Nuk tonight?”
”Ok dad.” And he took his Nuk out.

“Now, we’ll leave this here. It’ll be right by your hand in case you need it.”
I look up at his face, a Nuk in his mouth.

Where the F&#$ did that come from.
