East Room, Phipps Conservatory, Oakland.
A 50-something grandfather tries to interest his five-year-old granddaughter in an insect display:
Grandfather: Are you an aphid? Let’s see.
[Reads display] “Aphids are generally small,” — yep — “slow-moving, ” — yep — “soft-bodied, ” — yep — “and pear-shaped.”
[Puts his hand on her stomach] Well, you’re not pear-shaped yet.
