A few days ago, Aitch and I had the following conversation:
Me: Aitch, the election is coming up soon. Do you know who’s running for President?
Aitch: John McCain.
Me: That’s right. Who else?
Aitch: Barack Obama.
Me: Whom do you think will win?
Aitch: Barack Obama.
Me: Why Obama?
Aitch: Because he’s the fastest.
At the time, I thought it was just one of those adorable, kids-say-the-darndest-things non sequiturs.
Three days later, though, I was driving down the highway remembering that conversation when the lightbulb went off:
Race. Win. Faster!
It was a sequitur, after all.
