Punchline | S. Katie Hill

My first family trip to Disneyland was when I was only eight months old. Although I am unable to remember any of my experiences there, I'll never be able to forget what I've been told.

I sat on my dad's lap as we rode the train through the park. A little boy, about four-years-old came and sat down next to us. My dad, being the talkative, friendly man that he is said to me, "Katie, say hello to this nice little boy."

The child, disgusted at his idea, replied: "She's just a baby. Babies can only say goo-goo and ga-ga."

At that moment, I turned to face him and uttered my first compound word, "A--hole."
