3rd Graders & LIFE

The game of LIFE was on the credenza behind me when Megan and her friend stopped by my office ...


Friend:  LIFE? What's that?


Meg:  It's a game.


Me:  You've never played it before?


Friend:  No.


Meg:  Well, it's kinda' gross.


Me:  Gross??


Meg:  Yeah.  You have to get MARRIED.


Friend:  Oh, that IS gross.




There's something comforting in the knowledge that they still see marriage as gross.
