There was a television show in the 1940s — and then a similar one the 1990s — about the funny things kids say. We all know it’s true; children do say really funny stuff. Funny, inappropriate, ridiculous, outrageous, and sometimes, quite prolific. For instance, the son of my close friend Joanna Dascenzo, originally of Hubbard, is full of brilliant insight. He’s nine. Just the other day, he cast one of his pearls. After having explained to his mother that he needed a two liter plastic bottle for a school project, Joanna assured him that she would buy some soda later that evening. “Well, I think we should go to the store now,” he protested. When she asked why he was so concerned about what time they arrived at the grocery store, she learned his logic. “Mom, I am NOT going to be able to drink two whole liters or root beer in like, two hours!” he argued. True enough.
