Every week I take my oldest son and his friend to Karate. I get great insights into the nine year old mind by listening to their conversations.

B: No way!

J: Yes he is. You know what that means?

B: What?

J: Our military guys are gonna have to use bows and arrows!

B (with great concern): Dude, that's never gonna work against tanks...
