Hurt by her words, he continues to smile and pretend they didn't go through his 'Superman' armor.  He looks at her and says, "You'll see babe."  He smiles at her comment of him being 'yummy.'  She always tasted good, like cherries or peaches.  He told himself that it was her lip gloss or lip stick, whatever she put on.  Lately however, he had begun to convince himself that it was just her.  The taste was simply a concoction created by her own body, all natural.  He grinned and said, "Gracie better be ready for a fun time.  I have no problem being a really cute babysitter for her."  He laughed at the fun times that they were going to share.
