A clash of eras...

Overheard phone converation between NearbyManager and an inaudible person on the other end of a phone. NearbyManager is trying to convey a (rather silly) product name, which the person on the other end is clearly having trouble parsing.

NM: No, Sonic. Sonic. As in screwdriver.
[reply]
NM: No, a sonic screwdriver. In Doctor Who.
[reply]
NM: Well, I like Doctor Who.
[reply]
NM: Yes, if you prefer, like the hedgehog.

Reasons why you should not teach children science, part I.

Overheard at the weekend:

[Small child wishes to leave current location, which is outdoors.]

"Can we go now ? Please can we go ?"

[Parents do not respond.]
[Small child looks meaningfully at bright sun.]

"Do you want me to get cancer ?"
