Vive La Difference

This afternoon I'm driving Son #2 to his hockey game. All three kids are in the car. The eldest, always out to prove he's all that intellectually, tosses out a profound thought. "If there were no oxygen, and you struck a match, it wouldn't light."

Middle son, the right brained character foil for his older brother, had a wonderful retort. "If there were no oxygen, there wouldn't be anyone TO light the match." An excellent point, we all had to admit.
