From the Mouths of Babes

My cousin Diane is 10 years old, and had the following conversation with me at our big family dinner yesterday evening:

Diane: "Was it *really* a flat tire which made you three hours late to our house today?"

Walter: "Yes, of course. Why?"

Diane: "Well, I thought maybe you were really on the internet. . . y'know looking for a date or something."

Walter: "Really? What makes you think you can find dates on the internet?" [She doesn't have an internet conection at home]

Diane:"Oh, I dunno. Maybe some [in a snarky voice]technology-girl thinks you're cute."

You just can't make this stuff up.
