This morning, my nine year-old daughter Isa aired a complaint about her math class from the back of the car:
“They’re all craving laughter so badly, they’ll laugh even when the teacher makes the teensiest mistake, then they’ll all laugh luxuriously, like that was so funny. And I’m thinking if they’re craving laughter so badly, they should wait until recess when they can tell a real joke.”
I couldn’t agree with her more.
