Kids Say the Darndest Things
So this past weekend was my younger sisters birthday. Our older sister and her fiancé Mathew came down and we all ventured out to the NYC for a night of adventure. One of the first stops we made was to the Bodies exhibit. For those of you who don't know what it is (though I don't know why you wouldn't) its the remains of people who donated themselves to science. Every organ, muscle, bone, or vein is preserved all for you to see. Now I was fascinated by it all until I became distracted by children. Distraction became annoyance then extreme hatred not for them but the parents. But I'm not here to talk about retarded parents who scar their children into becoming mass murders. It was at the train ride home that a weird little "why" kid kept driving me nuts. Yes "why" kids, the ones that ask a million little why questions and never shut up. Well he was talking to his brother and get this he says " You know what the difference is between trees and nighttime?" At this point I was looking forward to the retarded answer with such anticipation it was like waiting for that final game winning 3 pointer shot at the buzzer. Sadly his Dad rushes him off the train at the next stop. So now I'm left haunted by the question. "What is the difference between Trees and Nighttime?"
