Humor by Simon Rich in The New Yorker, about how children perceive the adult world:

Mr. President! Did you hear about Woodstock?

Woo -- Woodstock? What in God’s name is that?

Apparently, young people hate the war so much they’re willing to participate in a musical sex festival as a protest against it.

Oh, my God. They must really be serious about this whole thing.

That’s not all. Some of them are threatening to join communes: places where they make their own clothing . . . and beat on drums.

Stop the war.

But, Mr. President!

Stop all American wars!

(sighs) Very well, sir. I’ll go tell the generals.

Wow. It’s a good thing those kids decided to go hear music.

Sounds like they all became socialists when they (allegedly) grew up.
