A Perfect Score

"A Perfect Score"*

*Little Debbie came running into the house after
school one day, shouting, "Daddy! Daddy! I got
a 100 in school today!"

"That's great, Sweetheart," said her daddy.
"Come in the living room and tell me about it."

"Well," began the confession, "I got 50 in spelling,
30 in math, and 20 in science..."

"Redskins - Tiger Woods"*

*Upon sitting down for dinner on a Sunday a few years back, my
6-year-old daughter Emma asked why the
television was on in the adjacent room. I explained to her that I'd
been watching the Redskins lose and Tiger
Woods win while she was taking a pre-dinner walk with her grandmother.

Here's the conversation that followed:

Emma: "Daddy, is Tiger Woods the best golfer in the universe?"

Me: "Well, he's probably the best golfer in the world, and some people
think that he's the best golfer ever."

Emma: "Does he get a gigantic castle for his prize then?"

Me: "No, but he could probably buy one with all the money he wins."

Emma: "How much does he win?"

Me: "Hmmm" (while trying to put it in terms she'd understand)

Emma: "Does he win enough to buy a house?"

Me: "Good question -- he could probably buy a new house EVERY TIME he
wins!"

Emma: "Daddy -- why don't YOU play golf?"
