Overheard in Palookaville:
Kid, You're Going to be a Lawyer Someday

Daughter: I saw a tornado at my school. It was picking up leaves.
Papa: I don't think you saw a tornado. Tornadoes are really, really big. What you saw is a dust devil.
Daughter: Dust devils are made of dust. This was a tornado.
Papa: Do you remember The Wizard of Oz? The tornado picked up a house. Your thing couldn't pick up a house. So it is a dust devil.
Daughter (after a thoughtful pause, with lower lip extended). Well, that was made by the Wicked Witch of the West, so it wasn't a real tornado.
