When Cathy was about 3 years old, I was talking (very loud and
optimistically) to her grandfather, how the days would be getting longer
now that the shortest day had passed. She got all excited too! We had to
take time to explain that the "day" meant the length of the daylight hours.
I think though, that she was too young to qualify as an idiot. Jeanne
