A Great Sense Of Rumor

(My 11-year-old brother is doing a report on the middle ages for school.)

Brother: “Mom, what’s hearsay?”

Mom: “It’s like gossip, or word of mouth.”

Me: “Heresy! He means heresy!”

Mom: “What context was it in?”

Brother: “Well, this guy was found guilty of hearsay and burned at the stake.”
