Some people love kids. Some people feel differently. Kids provide unconditional love, but they can also make any flight or train ride interminable. They have great imaginations and can be funny and sweet, but they can also ask the same question 80 times, just because they want to. But whether you’re a kid person or not, it’s hard to argue with their ability to say complete nonsense. Maybe the non sequiturs match up with whatever they’ve been daydreaming about. Who knows? But they’re sure to make a commute more interesting.

Last friday on the DC Circulator Bus, around Washington Circle/Pennsylvania Avenue:

A 3 or 4 year old girl is sitting with her father, commenting on what she sees out of the window. All of a sudden, apropos of nothing, she suddenly announces in a loud voice: “I just want to go CRAZY today, and buy new puppy clothes!”

After the jump, Southern towns with funny names, welding, and some assembly required.
