A lesson from a 12-year-old.

The Italian kid knows how to speak an international language. He came up to me on his low-slung bicycle. And spoke Italian. Being an ignoramus, I didn’t understand. I asked if he spoke English.  Apparently not. So he pointed to his wrist.  He wanted the time. So I pulled up my sleeve and showed him my watch. It was five minutes to three. Time for a lesson in international language. From a 12-year-old.    –Jim Broede
