When asked about his day at kindy, oaster Four proclaimed, “I do not like salami any more.” We thought this was a random response so we probed further. “Giant salamis are very dangerous,” he informed us. “They destroy your houses and they can kill lots of people!” We realised he was talking about a tsunami that had occurred some days earlier.

oaster Eight recently complained about his boring day. I said my day had been boring too, and there were many chores I now had to do. He replied, “I will have to do those chores when I am old too – unless I get a wife.”
