I had this dream last night/this morning that a law was passed regarding speech.  It was completely ridiculous.  You were only allowed to use words that were the same length as your age. 

For instance, if you were a one-year-old, you were limited to A, I, and after a LONG debate 'U'.  As a 2-year-old,  you got to add 'an', 'am', 'no' (and to sneakily say yes, you could say 'un-no') and a few other short ones.  Couldn't say the word electricity until you were 11.  Once you already WERE an age, you were allowed to retain those words (so a 3-year-old could get away with 'yes I am' without punishment), and obviously, there aren't MANY 20 or 30 letter words, so probably by age 15 or so, your vocabulary was pretty sound, but ... sucked.

Also, it meant all the precious 4-year olds were running around with the ability to say 'hell' 'damn' 'shit' 'fuck' and some other 'four-letter-words' that I don't even say .  No one else saw this as a flaw in the plan.
