Kids are so dang gullible
If you bamboozle an elderly person, you get arrested. If you fool a little kid, well that's just funny.
I guess that's what one of the helpers at Lily's school after care was thinking when he tricked her about what his name is.
"Goodbye, Anonymous!'' Lily shouted to him as we left the school.
"What? Lily, his name is not Anonymous,'' I instructed her outside.
"Yes it is, Mom. He told me that before. He would never lie to a first-grader!'' she replied.
I told her that didn't sound like a name. She told me some people have different names.
For example, she pointed out accurately, she has a classmate named Precious.
True. But when we got home, I relayed the story, including identifying the teacher whose helper/son is named "Anonymous.''
"Oh,'' Creed immediately replied, "Kendall?''
Mystery solved.
