Little Bobby Randall was a most unfortunate child. According to his mother, who should have known, he was just “Born wrong.”

Well, maybe.

Cindy

On the first day, his mother asked him what he learned in camp. Bobby’s answers were simple and direct, as though he was quoting his counselor at the camp:

“Bobby, please take your seat.”

“Bobby, please stop talking.”

… she said, “My name is Mi-Sun.”  Bobby didn’t understand all of this, but thought she said “Me Sun.”

“Sun,” he said.

“Mi-Sun,” the little girl said.

Nothing.
