True Crime

My oldest son was a very early reader and he and devoured absolutely everything he could get his hands on: Reader's Digest, Time, newspapers, along with all the other stuff normal kids read. Anyway, one day out we were standing outside a pharmacy leaning against a wall, warming up in the sunshine before going back in to pick up a prescription. Next to the dumpster there was an old carpet rolled up right beside the trash to be picked up. My son went over to investigate it and I joked, "maybe there's a body rolled up in there" and he said, "Yeah, maybe it's Jimmy Hoffa." He was six, so this would have been in 1999! Blew my mind. After recovering from my laughter, I ask him how he had heard about Jimmy Hoffa, he just shrugged and said he'd read about it somewhere.
