Nine-year-old Maly hopped off her New Year’s Day brunch barstool and noticed something funny.
Maly: (giggling) Dad! Look! I was sitting on a paper plate!
She begins to place it back in the stack on the island.
Dad: Hey, that’s funny. Go throw it in the trash.
Maly: (incredulously) In the trash? Why? It’s clean.
Dad: Because Maly, you were sitting on it. It was touching your bottom.
Maly: Dad, it’s not like I’m not wearing pants.

Not to be picky and certainly not to address your main point, it’s just that a journalist does need to check his facts, especially in this regard: Maly is Nine, as of December 21 🙂
Whoops. Edited for correctness. Thanks for the tip. 🙂
