This same thing happened at Camp Perry a year or two later.
A few years back I was getting my locks shorn at the local barber shop. IIRC it was a Saturday morning when the 9-5ers were there for haircuts and a couple of old school farmers were there for their weekly shaves.
I had gotten a seat across from a father and son. dad looked like he was preoccupied, the kid looked like he was paying attention and possibly had a brain of some sort. I let things fall into place and looked at the kid and addressed him.
"Hey, Kid," I asked. "Have you ever in your life seen a man eating chicken?" His father took note of the situation instantly.
The kid thought for a second or two and replied, "Yes I have."
The father looked at his son and demanded, "Where have you ever seen a man eating chicken?"
"I see it almost every time we eat at KFC," said the kid.
"What do you mean?" the father demanded of his son. "There are no man eating chickens at KFC!"
"A lot of men eat chicken at KFC," answered the boy.
Dad turned beet red when he figured it out.
Over the years I have come to the conclusion that a lot of kids actually raise themselves. I keep thinking that the people that say that parents should have a license to reproduce have the right idea and I used to agree with them until I realized that if it became a worldwide requirement the human face would become extinct in a few generations.
I guess some thing are better left the way they are.
Let Darwin sort it out.
