Friday CWS (Conversations With Shawn)

Shawn:  “Gran J, if Chris Davis broke the Orioles record of 50 for most home runs in a season what is the record for all teams?”
Me:  “Barry Bonds has it but I don’t know how many he hit.  For me the record will always be Roger Maris at 61.”
Shawn:  “Why’s that?”
Me:  “Because Bonds cheated.”
Shawn:  “How’d he cheat?”
Me:  “He used drugs.”
Shawn:  “How did the drugs help him hit home runs?”
Me:  “It made him stronger.”
Shawn: “What’s wrong with that?”
Me:  “It wasn’t right.”
Shawn: “Why not?”
Me:  “Bus will be here soon, go get your stuff.”

From Wikipedia

Third column is age.  Fifth column is number of home runs.  Sixth column is number of years record stood.

Eight year old Grandson Shawn:  “Gran J, do you like running the Store ?”
Me:  “Yes.”
Shawn:  “Do you like running it because you make a lot of money?”
Me:  “I don’t make a lot of money.”
Shawn:  “Then why do you do it?”
Me:  “It’s not always about making money.”
Shawn: “Then what’s it about?”
Me:  “Doing what you like to do.”
Shawn:  “What if you like making a lot of money?”
Me:  “Then you don’t run a country store.”
