Here lately, the kids have been cracking - me - up with their conversations amongst themselves.  Just last week, here's how one went between the two boys.JP:  Will, what's that stuff that we used in Art Camp?W:  The white stuff?JP:  Yeah, the stuff that looks like milk.W:  Oh, that's paper meche.JP:  Well, it might look like milk, but don't drink it.  That's what our teacher said.  I wonder what would happen if you drank it.  You'd probably die.W:  Yeah, your ...
