From the Mouth of Babes

A little eight-year old boy I know got on the subject of Sesame Street's Elmo during a conversation we had today.

"I don't understand," said the curious boy. "Why does Elmo always speak in the third person? Is so that little kids will understand? It's a bad idea really. Because it teaches all the wrong things."

Correct grammar terminology and social criticism all rolled up into one sage observation! The Dada Drummer has never been prouder.
