From the contributor: In Westwood, CA, there’s a homeless man who sits on a Kikoman Soy Sauce bucket dressed in his overalls each day and babbles his thoughts for all to hear by the local Coffee Bean. As I passed him and trotted across the intersection today, I heard Hobo McPoet scream at the top of his lungs:

If money ain’t everything, why is the bathroom on the inside of the house?

Truer words have never been spoken.

A conversation between the contributor and her fifth-grade daughter:

Daughter: Tad’s house is a dish-level home.
Mother: What’s a “dish-level home”?
D: It’s a small house.
M: Did you mean “hovel”?
D: No, dish-level. I looked it up.
[Pause while Mother thinks about what Daughter could possibly mean.]
M: Oh, did you mean disheveled? That’s a messy house.
D: No, it means small house.
[Conversation ends and is almost forgotten, until a couple days later, when Daughter says this:]
D: Mom, I figured out what the word was that I was trying to remember in the car. It was “bungalow.”
