I'm the stupid one. It took me a minute to figure out that he had confused squirt with skirt. If any of you ladies are into wearing squirts, give me a call.

It says something about the pervasiveness of the phrase 'quality time' in the Oakland SD or in our culture in general that a kid would believe that 'quality' means 'spend time with someone.'
It's an answer I'm sure no kid would have ever come up with 10 years ago. Not as funny as the squirt thing, however.
