Anyone with a small child will be familiar with the phenomenon of baby claws. The Jr. VP has a nice set of them himself. His fingernails are sharp like tiger claws, and filthy like them too. He is a little boy who spends a lot of time on the floor after all.

People are looking at me funny today, much more so even than usual. It turns out that Monster Boy got me pretty good with his claws this weekend; I have some nasty scratches on my neck. And since his fingernails are somewhat less than sterile, the scratches are redder and puffier now than they were over the weekend. Thanks a lot, son. Appreciate it.
