Overheard in court (defense attorney arguing his adult/parent client - charged with battery - was acting in defense of child):
Prosecutor: "Your Honor, kissing is not a battery."
Defense Attorney: "Judge, kissing can be a battery. It's an unwanted touching . . ."
Judge: "Kissing a baby?"
Defense Attorney: "Judge, a kiss without permission . . ."
Judge: "Was the baby offended by the kiss?"
Defense Attorney: "Well, Judge . . ."
Judge: "Or are you saying it was a battery when she wiped the lipstick off?"
