Cooties

Basil Grimm came home from school looking devastated.

"What's wrong, Baze?" Daphne asked her six year old brother. She was sitting at the kitchen table with Puck and Sabrina.

Basil looked up at his sister and frowned. Skylar doesn't want me to be her boyfriend. She says I have cooties."

Daphne Frowned. "you don't have cooties!"

Puck smirked. "marshmallow is right. You don't have cooties! Skylar does!"

Sabrina smacked the back of Puck's head. "no one has cooties!"

"Not true. It's always the girls with he cooties."

Basil looked up at Puck, warily. "What are cooties?"

Pick grinned. "Well, they're like aliens. They come from outer space and take over your body!"

"That is not true!" Sabrina cried. "You are scaring Basil!"

Puck turned to look at Basil. The little of had a terrified look on his face.

Daphne put a hand on Basil's shoulder. "Cooties are basically germs. Fake germs that kids use to tease each other."

Basil let out a sigh of relief. "So I don't have cooties?"

"Nope." Puck answered. "But Sabrina, Daphne, and Red do."

Basil moved away from Daphne.

"Puck!" Daphne and Sabrina cried out in unison.

Puck wasn't done yet. "Thats is why, you should never date a girl. Just on touch and you're infected for life."

Basil whimpered. " I don't want girl germs!"

"Hey Puck?" Sabrina asked.

"Yeah?" Puck asked.

Sabrina grinned. "Well, if girls are so terrible, why are you dating me?"

Puck thought for a second and then turned to Basil. "Fine. It's okay to date girls, just as long as you never kiss one."

Sabrina shook her head. "Well I guess you never want me to kiss you again."

This got Puck's attention. " What? I never said that!"

Daphne grinned, getting where Sabrina was going with this. "We wouldn't want you to get cooties, now do we? So I guess, for safety reasons, you can never kiss Sabrina again..."

Puck's face paled.

"Unless, of course, you were lying about the whole cootie thing." Sabrina went on.

Basil looked at Puck expectantly. Puck looked from Basil to Sabrina. "I was not lying."

Sabrina got up to leave. "And right when I really wanted to make out..."

Pucks eyes widened. Sabrina turns to leave the room.

"Wait! I was kidding! Let's make out!"

Sabrina smiled. "Tell Basil that girls don't have cooties."

"Girls don't have cooties!" Puck said. "Can we make out now?"

Sabrina smiled and pressed her lips to his. Just as quickly, she pulled away. "Sorry. Not in the mood."

Daphne laughed as Sabrina left the room. Puck glared at her retreating back. "I feel used."

Basil looked confused. "What does making out mean?"

Monster: he doesnt know what making out means?

Me: A lot of little kids dont know what it means!

Monster: Dont touch me! You have cooties.

Me: Me? You're the one with cooties!

Monster: I'm as clean as can be!

Me: You wish.

Monster: BTW, next time, my cousin is coming over! You'll get to meet him!
