Real conversation today as my children and I walked down the dock toward our boat:
Son: Why do elephants have trunks?
Me: It's part of what makes them elephants. {metaphysical, no?}
Son: So, there's two types of trunks - car trunks and elephant trunks.
Me: And, your boat {the optimist} has a centerboard trunk.
Son, as we climb aboard the Alberg 30: Where's the centerboard trunk on THIS boat?
Me: This boat does not have a centerboard; it has a full keel.
Son: What's a keel?
Daughter: You know, the part we run aground on!
Charming!
Thanks for bringing a smile to my day!
