Someone ran over a skunk in the road. The three year old thought that was very funny. He spent the next fifteen minutes repeating “A skunk was in the road. A car hit it. Now it smells like skunk.” And laughing furiously.

The five and two year olds started laughing just because their brother was laughing so hard.

Note: This is translated from toddler speak into English, but still pretty close to the original.

A reminder that a gulf of X decades separates us. No matter how close I get to understanding, things like this will always be puzzling.
