I wish I could tell ya kid
You gotta love kids (sometimes), they're great.
I mean no one but a six year old wouldwalk solemly up to you and ask in very serious tones:
"Why are boxers called boxers, and not penis-pants"
(A question that I apparently asked my mother when I was a tyke) It's hilarious. On the same token, the incessant Why? Why? Why? of my younger cousins - especially Finlay ... but he gets away with it because he's so annoyingly cute...
The best question however came from my cousin Charmaine today
"Dylaaan? Why are Cowboys called Cowboys when they don't ride cows? ... Shouldn't they be called Horseboys?"
I think I was more amused by the fact that the question is completely logical, and illogical at the same time.
