Wiseass

"I have to write a report for school about the wisest person I know," my granddaughter said to me.

"Well," I said, "I don't like to brag, but I'm sort of known for my wiseness. In fact, it's been said that my wiseness is second to none."

"Isn't it called wisdom, not wiseness?" she countered.

I replied, "That's a common misconception of people who have a lesser degree of wisehoodness."

She walked away.
