From the mouths of babes. A lesson in evolution

[Pacifist Patriot]

My seven year old and eleven year old have been learning about evolution. One of them came up with some figure about being related to everyone by the fortieth degree and they were talking about how cool it was that everyone on the planet was connected genetically, blah, blah, blah. I pointed out, "You do realize that means you're related to George Bush. Humbling, isn't it?"

My eleven year old immediately shot back, "Well that explains things."

"Explains what?"

"Clearly he's the missing link."

BWAA! Chimperor indeed.

1. You told a seven year old he might be related to George Bush?

I thought there were rules about cruel and unsual punishment?
