Literally

Children.

They are such literal thinkers, no?

This morning at breakfast my 7 year-old daughter inquired about a song,

Mom. You know that Annie song, “Tomorrow”?… It says, “Bet your bottom dollar”… Um… Is… Is that a bad song?

It took a moment, but I realized what she was thinking… Can you imagine what was in her mind’s eye? “Bottom dollar”… I explained,

Oh HONEY! “Bottom dollar” means your LAST dollar.”

She threw her head back and just laughed… and laughed and laughed… As did I. And her brother.

“Bottom dollar”…. heh. Talk about a wedgie.

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…
