While we're on the subject of being little, aren't little kids the best? You can tell them anything and they'll believe you. When I talk to little kids, I try to come up with biggest lie I can and see if they believe me. Here's an example, a week or so ago I was at the local football game and I was waiting in line at the concession stand to get some Nacho's. So, I started talking to this little kid. After my purchasing transaction was complete, I continued talking to this youngster. He had bought some kind of "Shock Tart" candy. So I said "Shock Tarts? What are those?" He replied my saying "There real sour. Don't you know what Shock Tarts are?" I said back "No. They didn't have fancy candy like that when I was a kid. All we had was dirt. Painted dirt. And it wasn't even good dirt mind you, it was old dirt. Sometimes if you were lucky, they'd take a pile of dirt and form it into some type of Rabbit or something for Easter. No, I didn't have chocolate. Chocolate wasn't invented till about 1992, and it was invented by Thomas Edison." The kid just looked at me. Then he offered me a shock tart. It was pretty good, but nothing beats the feeling of waking up early on a Christmas morn and being filed with delight by seeing a red and white painted Santa Clause Dirt Clump smiling back at you from under the fresh evergreen... Yum.
