"Hey, what are they teaching you kids in high school these days?"
"I don't know. Stuff."
"They teach you about Mussolini?"
"Wasn't he that painter?"
"Painter? Heavens no. We fought him in World War Two. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, and the Japs. They teach you about that no good Stalin?"
"Who?"
"Oh, forget it. I'm going to get a bowl of ice cream."
