Junie is a fictional kindergartener, heroess in books by Barbara Park. Now this, courtesy of Power Line
One evening a couple of years ago, my youngest daughter was reading a Junie B. Jones book and started giggling. I asked her what was so funny. She read out loud a colloquy between Junie and her grandfather. Junie was seated on a dryer as her grandfather was doing laundry. The exchange ended with this, from Junie:
I need five dollars and you have five dollars. Boom! Do the math.
"Boom! Do the math" became a common refrain in our household. It was funny coming from a six-year-old. Not so funny as the basis for a Presidential campaign.
