Seven-year-old's response:
"This world sure has a problem with apostrophes."
Back home again:
Child: "If we use stickers to correct signs, is it vandalism?"
Parent: "They've already done violence to the English language! They've already assaulted our senses! It would be an act of self-defense!"
Other Parent to Parent: "Relax, dear."
Other Parent to Child: "Yes, it's vandalism."
