A dumb child by any standard

Lest you think this is all bluster and no entertainment, I offer you tidbits a la tardblog for your eye-rolling pleasure. This doozy is from a future floozy in my Bitter Half's fourth grade class:

En route to Albuquerque (a two-hour bus ride) for a field trip, a nine-year-old piped up, "Are we in Albuquerque yet?" As it's not as clearly urban as other cities, this was somewhat reasonable, if ditzy. My husband assured her that they were in fact in city limits. "Oh," she replied, deadpan, "So, are we near the Twin Towers?"
