From a friend…
- [Anna, age 8]: “Dad, what does ‘retard’ mean?”
- Me: “Anna – you can’t say that word.”
- Anna: “But what does it mean?”
- Me: “You can’t say it, but it means stupid.”
- Anna: “Dad, you’re a retard!”
(I love this girl. When she was younger and in a stroller she pointed back to her mother and said “My GPS.”)
This is great Phil!
Cute, but it’s defining words/terms like “virgin” or “open marriage” which is more challenging. However, with Bill Clinton or DJT in office when question is posed about latter perhaps easier than in past.
As long as your trading famous quotes from 8 year olds, I have this one.
“They keep promising to teach us Spanish but all we ever learn is the hat dance.”
. . . long passed into family legend.
If I called my dad a retard when I was 8, I wouldn’t have seen 9.
