Toddler busted giving his dad a “dry willy”

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (FTN) – A Terre Haute toddler is in hot water after a trip to the zoo.

It happened Saturday at the Indianapolis Zoo.

That is where two-year-old Alexander Essex was accused of giving his dad, Chris, a “dry willy.”

A dry willy is like a wet willy, without the wet.

“We were looking at elephants. I put him up on my shoulders…and his dry finger went right into my ear,” Chris said.

Ami Essex snapped a photo of the finger going in.

“It was funny! I was going for a sweet father-son photo, and this happened. Gold,” Ami said.

Chris admitted that he might have been more worried if the finger were wet.

“If It were wet…yeah. I don’t want to think about it. I’m glad it was dry,” Chris told us.

No charges were filed.
