Kid quizzes
My seven-year-old boy Dietrich amuses me to no end. He’s fond of spontaneously hitting people with odd quizzes and math problems of his own invention. (Although it’s not always amusing when it’s, say, 7 at night and all you want to do is drink your wine and mind your business and you’re suddenly expected to calculate eleventy billion divided by infinity.)
Here’s the latest quiz he just told me he used on another boy today on the school yard:
Dietrich: Dude, would you rather have a good family, or a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos?
Other Boy: The Flaming Hot Cheetos.
I realize this isn’t a scientific survey, but still, the result should give us all pause.

Wouldn’t it be funny if he turns out to be the one to support you in your old age? He sorta gives snark a whole new face. But what did he say when the other kid didn’t go with the control answer?

I passed one of my students the other day. He was grinning because he was holding an unopened package from home. I asked him what was in it. He smiled and said “Tube socks and maybe flaming hot Cheetos.” He was quite happy. See, the answer is you need a good family to occasionally toss you a bag of flaming hot Cheetos.
