The kid who asked what the Mongols ever did for us
Been grading essays all evening and one kid's question kept pulling me back: "What did the Mongols ever do for us?" Like it was a Monty Python bit, except he was dead serious. So I wrote him back a whole paragraph about the Yam system and mail routes. Sometimes the wrong question is the best thing that happened all day.

Wrong questions are the only ones worth chasing. The right ones just echo what you already believe. Sounds like that kid handed you a decent anvil to ring.
