On Hitler Invading Poland

I can haz Poland Hitler Cat

The Mom: You’re done already? Wow!  You ate that snack quicker than Hitler took Poland!

The 10 y.o. (reading her book): Mom? Didn’t it take a full day for Hitler to invade Poland? As in 24 hours. Therefore, wouldn’t it stand to reason that pretty much everything is going to be quicker than Hitler took Poland?

The Mom: Uh….oh my goodness. Huh. I guess you’re right. Got any more zinger observations for me?

The 10 y.o. (looks up from her book): Yes. Yes I do. What IS the answer to a rhetorical question?

 

*Edited to add a link to a post last year when The Mom used this same metaphor and all 3 girls got a history lesson.
