Something about Something
Many years ago, I was chatting with a young nephew, one of
twins. I told him a cool fact about pterodactyls, and he gushed, “Oh Uncle Nat,
you know everything!”
“Not really,” I admitted. “But I do know something.”
The lad demanded, “About what?”
“I know something about something,” I said. Disgusted, he
turned to leave the room; I said as he left, “That’s the most honest answer
you’ll ever get, kid!”
Addendum: I know that we were discussing pterodactyls, but
I forget the cool pterodactyl fact. And I know that I told it to a nephew, but
I entirely forget which nephew, Sam
or Andrew. That’s how my so-called mind works; which proves my point.
