You got me. I'd like to say I've never heard of American Idol but all I can say is that I've never watched it, so I've no idea who has or hasn't been on it. If you're suggesting she probably does know who has and hasn't been on American Idol I confess to thinking you're probably right.

I have no idea. That was just my imagination of the most frivilous possible response. I know I saw him on TV. I've never watched A.I. myself, but doubt it was where anyone heard of Eisenhower. I don't think that show was in back then either.

When I was in school, we had to name all the US Presidents, in order, from memory. Of course, there were fewer of them then.

This is the business he'd chosen!

Sometimes I wonder if there ought to be criminal penalties, along the lines of the felony murder rule, for parents who fail, or neglect, to teach their children not to do these things.

My children knew not to take things that didn't belong to them, and not go into places they weren't invited. Just those two ideas would eliminate a lot of unhappiness. Not all, of course, but it would be a start.
