Out of the mouths of babes...

So here's the latest funny from the Cross family. Over lunch at Taco Time (a local favorite) we were discussing the biology of tazing someone (I don't know how to spell it, but you know, the guns police use to zap you into submission). Anyway, Brad was curious to know exactly what happens when someone is tazed. All the children agreed they'd rather not ever be tazed, and Nathan, who had been quietly taking it all in up to this point remarks,

"I know who wouldn't mind being tazed...hobos! They don't have anything else to do anyway."

After 5 solid minutes of laughing so hard we were crying, Joe and I tried to explain that being homeless does not necessarily mean you are bored and willing to have your nervous system overloaded with electricity, rendering you incapacitated. Perhaps we're wrong on this one...

Interestingly, Nathan is really a very compassionate kid. He'll give you his shirt off his back if you need it. That's what made it so funny- just an innocent observation from a 9-year-old.
