Ah the things children say ...
Back when my kids were young (please don't ask me how long ago) we enjoyed playing board games as a family. On one very cold Montana evening we were gathered at the kitchen table playing Trivial Pursuit. My boys, ages 6 and 8 at the time, loved it when they teamed with Mom and Dad. So that night I was with the 8-year-old and the wife was with the 6-year-old. My youngest tried his best but just lacked the years and experience to know the answers to those tough questions. But this night was different. Normally he returns a blank stare, but on this question ... "When struck by lightning, which of the five senses would a person lose?" ... he blurted out the answer that patently made the most sense ... "Your sense of humor!" The expression of pride and confidence on his face was priceless. And even though the card said "smell", we all agreed he had the "Best" answer and earned his green wedge.
