The State of Truth

This morning, my Fourth Grade son Sam gleefully approached me with the quiz that he had been given in school.  “What state had the second highest number of Presidents born there and is home to the Pro Football Hall of Fame?”

“Ah,” I replied, “the Hall of Fame gives that one away.  It’s Ohio.”

Sam was happy to confirm my guess, “Yes.  Ohio.  Cincinnati, Ohio.”

I paused for a second and then followed up, “No, it’s Canton,” but Sam had already run off.  He was onto the next thing and in too much of a hurry to hear my correction.

Well, I guess Sam has already mastered a very popular habit, “Never let the truth stand in the way of a good fact.”
