At dinner this past Friday night, Milo brought his model catapult (which we built) to the table to show a friend how it works. He noticed that a piece seemed to be falling off, and the following conversation ensued:
...
Milo: Dad, I told you this piece was coming off.
Me: Don't worry about it Milo. It is not coming off, and all that piece does is support this crossbar here, and it is doing fine at that.
Milo: Dad, do you know why the Titanic sank?
Me: Why did the Titanic sink, Milo?
Milo: Because of a stubborn captain!
...
Did I just get burned by a historical analogy-wielding seven-year-old*? I think so! What's next, something about Napoleon at Waterloo?
*not quite seven at the time. Milo turns 7 today.
