"Ionesco, paging Mr. Ionesco"

Me, casting about for a subject to prompt discussion, at lunch today in the library's staff room: "So..., what's your latest thought about what you want to be when you grow up?"

Sparky, pausing briefly in his march through KFC's Bonus Meal #1 (half-day of school today, God knows why) and then looking very deeply into my eyes: "Salt."

He wants to be salt when he grows up. Yep, Absurdism am us.
