tracking indoctrination

You may laugh, but only for a second...then you may cry.


Small: That lady says that Smaller and I look like nocturnal twins.

Me: I think you mean fraternal.

Small: No its nocturnal. I saw it on TV. They called these two boys nocturnal twins.

Me: Well they probably meant it as a joke.

Small: No it was not a joke.

Me: How do you know? Maybe you just didn't get it.

Small: No, if it had been a joke they would have told us to laugh.

Me: Who would have told you to laugh?

Small: The laughing people on TV. They always tell you when something is funny.

Me: Sweet heaven, read a book.
