Einstein liked to chat with a particular five-year-old boy who would accompany the great thinker on his walks to the Institute for Advanced Study. One day while they were strolling, Einstein suddenly burst out in laughter. When the boy's mother asked him what they talked about, her son replied, "I asked Einstein if he had gone to the bathroom today." The mother was horrified, but then Einstein replied, "I'm glad to have someone ask me a question that I can answer."
