From the mouths of babes...

Despite the tragedy that befell Johnson on Thursday, the Eatery did provide its patrons with lemon bars on Friday.

My daughter, who is almost 4, made her first (and last?) visit to the Faculty Center on Friday. After much deliberation, she chose macaroni and cheese, black-eyed peas, and a lemon bar for lunch. After she pretty much cleaned her plate, we turned to the great lemon experiment. Hume and I, being scholars, probed her reaction to the lemonicity of said bars. Her response:

"Where is the lemon in this?"

Okay, did she really say this unprompted? Is she a secret reader of the blog?

Or, more likely, is she in touch with lemonocity at a level only a child can truly grasp? A Zen of Lem(on) prodigy in the making.

Prompt: "What do you think about the lemon bar? Does it taste like a lemon?"
