Who is the Fastest?

So, we were sitting in the van, waiting for General Mayhem to come out of Wal*mart, when the Major asked me a question.

“Dad, who is fastest?”

“Fastest at what?”

“I am fast. General Mayhem is faster. You are the fastest!”

“I won’t be for long,” I replied. “Pretty soon the General will be faster than me.”

“How come?”

“Because he is 13, I am 44, and…”

“You’re fat?” he interjected.

How can you not love these kids?
