What a bright and articulate young girl.Good genes and good parenting, Michael well, your wife and you, that is.

But Don Rickles. . . Michael? guess one could argue that taking a little one to see an insult spewing codger is a kind of vaccination. A little dose of old show-biz meanness to prepare her for the sub-Rickles characters out there in the real world.

Anyway, as a high school teacher in NYC, I mostly encounter kids who don't have the faculty with the English language that your daughter has.
