Also, it's good to know where I rank.

I happen to use the word "orbit" to L. He asks what it means.

Me: It's when one thing goes around another. Like the moon orbits the earth. And the earth orbits the sun. That's a year - one orbit around the sun.
L: And the moon orbits the sun, too!
Me (puzzling how to explain - he's not _wrong_ in the absolute sense, but he's confused the basic idea): Not exactly. The moon orbits the earth, and they both...
L: No, I'm sure the moon orbits the sun.
Me: You are?
L: Well, K told me and he heard it from an adult so I'm pretty sure it's right.

From this we can logically deduce that Daddy is not an adult. Again, I think he's not _wrong_ in the absolute sense, but...
