at my regular coffee shop. There's pictures on the wall, and the one closest to where you pick up the coffee is a photograph of the Great Wall of China. Behind me is a little girl, maybe 11 years old, and her mother.
Little girl to her mother "Mom, what's that picture of?"
Mother to girl "That's the China Wall. It seperates communist China from regular China."
I turned around, shook my head at the mother and explained that the Great Wall of China is an ancient defensive structure meant to stave off barbarians and that the Berlin wall seperated West and East Germany after WWII.
What's wrong with people these days? If you don't know, tell tell your kids the wrong shit.
Okay, so you know about the great wall of China, but do you know why the Sky is blue?
I learned why in my 3rd year of college physics. The reason is so technical and so long, that a kids brain would melt if they heard it.

Nah. You just sit down your average ten year old and tell them simply "The sky is blue because of Rayleigh scattering.". If they ask what that means, just tell them it's magic.

I would have just rolled up the nearest newspaper and smacked the mom on the nose and said "No" for being a dumbass.
I am equally entertained by the notion of 'communist' and 'regular'. If there were more communists (or equal amounts) than non-communists wouldn't that be 'regular'?
Only if the person speaking was Communist as well.

I believe that there's more and more distribution of false information in our society. I NEVER rely on information from another person - it is most likely false or at least inaccurate.
Actually, no I didn't. My personality would suggest that would be the way I would do it, however I was not so much trying to embarass the mother, I just wanted to correct the bad information. Children should be able to believe their parents are champions. I don't need to take that away from anyone.
My hat goes off to you, sir.
