Dear Diary:
As I was heading out of my Upper East Side apartment building to a leisurely breakfast, I happened across a neighbor whose husband is a well-known stock trader on Wall Street. Her darling 5-year old-son had overheard Daddy on the phone with a client, and was quite concerned.
“I know Daddy sells things at his job,” he remarked with consternation, “but why, oh why, did he say he would sell my shorts?”

Shucks! I attributed the overwriting to an overzealous editor at The Times.
I did notice the anacronism of "trader on Wall Street." All the traders and their hedge funds moved to Greenwich years ago.
