“Mom, here’s the Riddle Of The Day we did today. A doctor and a kid went fishing. The kid was the doctor’s son, but the doctor was not the kid’s father. Who was the doctor?”
“I don’t know, who?”
“…His mother!! Mr R says that was made up in the 19(mumbles)…a long time ago, when not a lot of women were doctors, and no one got the riddle right back then.”
“Did anyone in your class get it right?”
Scoffs. “Yeah, ALL of us.”
The kids are alright.
