Knowledge is power


This morning, Annabeth and I went downtown to walk around. To her, the best part of downtown is a store that sells candied up popcorn -blech- She asked (like she does every time we go downtown) if she can get some popcorn. This is how the conversation went.

"Dad, will you please buy me some blue popcorn?"
"It's closed" I said pointing to the sign in the window.
"What is today?" she asked.
"Sunday"
"It opens at 11:00" she said, pointing at the other sign in the window. "What time is it now?"
"10:45"
Annabeth knows knowledge is power.

Looks like the right wing is correct, an educated populace is a dangerous thing. This won't be a problem in Texas soon.
