"Mr. Clark, is it possible that you're too out of touch with the youth of today's generation to be able to understand some of their situations?"
When Sherman wheeled back to the center of the stage for his sixth question, he received one. Obviously. But it was one that he wasn't expecting. Did.. did they just.. what? He stared at the man who had asked the question for a moment, his eyes blinking quickly in surprise. Had the man just called him old? Because.. well.. he was old. But it was kind of rude to point that out, right? He wasn't out of touch with the generation. He was just a bit wrinkly and his skin texture slightly resembled that of a prune. THATWASIT.

"Um. No?" he half-stated, half-asked blankly, composing an hopefully reasonable answer in his as quickly as he could. "With all due respect, sir, just because I am slightly more.. AGED than the other candidates does not mean I cannot understand the problems the students of Hogwarts may face. I was a child once, and I remember my experiences as clearly as I recall what I had for breakfast this morning." WAFFLES. So THERE. "I'm not so elderly that I can't fathom the issues that burden the inhabitants of the school." 'Cause he could. Really, he'd pinky promise on it. "Not only this, but I wouldn't exactly say that I am 'out of touch'. I have a granddaughter, you know, who attends Hogwarts. I would think she keeps me up to date on the youthful happenings of this generation."

Really, what did they think he kept Alice around for?
