My mom tell this story:
"Ellen and I were at the museum of natural history on Martin Luther King day, and it was packed because all the other kids were off. So we got into an elevator and it was just crammed with like 40 people. All of a sudden, Ellen pipes up from under all these other people, "I sure hope that this elevator can accomodate all these people." Everyone turned and looked down at her, and then at me and asked "how OLD is she?" and I said "She's in high school."
That's my little 7 year old actuary. Always wondering about commuter safety.
that ain't the way i heard it.
