Analogies are as useful as a pair of glasses are to a blind man.

Today, I wore make-up to school for the second time. Aland, the class clown in my grade 2 class, caught up with me on the way to my KG classroom.
“Miss, are you a clown?” he asked, genuinely curious.
“Why? You mean because of this?” I gestured around my made-up face.
He nodded, “why did you do that?”
“Because I felt funny,” I replied, “like a clown.”
The two clowns shared a laugh before heading into their first period classes.
Archimedes the Owl: If the boy goes about saying the world is round, they'll take him for a lunatic.
Arthur: The world is round?
Merlin: Yes. Yes, that's right, and it also goes a-round.
Arthur: You mean it'll be round someday.
Merlin: No, no, no, it's round now. Man will discover this in centuries to come. And he will also find that the world is merely a tiny speck in the universe.
Arthur: Universe?
Archimedes the Owl: You're only confusing the boy. Before you're through, he'll be so mixed up, he'll... he'll be wearing his shoes on his head!
