More Silly Things

From Tallis regarding economic issues:

"Mom, why can't I have a paper route?"
"You, can but there has to be one available."
"Why isn't there one?"
"Other kids are dong them right now."
Tallis sits thoughtfully for a minute.
"Is there any other way I can earn heaps of money fast?"

From Tallis regarding Just War Theory:

"Mom, is war always bad?" A lengthy explanation of warfare and necessary evil follows. Then I say, "You know Unky Kyle? He wrote a very good paper about war in the Book of Mormon." Tallis asks, "Have you read it?"
"Yes, of course. It was very good."
Tallis concludes: "Well, if Unky Kyle wrote it, I wouldn't expect anything less."
