Out of the Mouths of Babes

[L Verge]

Here's a question for Betty O: We had a regional group of home schoolers visit the Surratt House today, and as usual, we divided them according to ages. One young man (about 12) had read Killing Lincoln by Bill O'Reilly, which required our guide (Lindsey Horn of this forum) to correct some "misconceptions."

However, the young man was intrigued with Lewis Powell and wanted to know lots more about him -- including "How come he ended up so handsome when he got kicked in the jaw by a horse when he was young?" Try to come up with an answer to that one...

Another younger boy exclaimed at the end of the tour that "...this is the best day yet!" Mom had just given in and purchased a toy in the gift shop for him! I asked if today was better than Christmas. He informed me that no day is better than Christmas. I hope he meant that in the true meaning of the season, but somehow I doubt it.
