So Grasshopper ( the eight-year-old) comes in and asks me:

     “Mom, is there REALLY a first time for everything?”

     I said, “Yes, although some things haven’t had their first time YET.”

     He said “You mean, like your head falling off?”

     I said “Sure.”

     Evil Giggle “That would be a first time AND a last time all at once wouldn’t it?”

     “I suppose”, I said.

     More evil giggling as he runs out of the room.

     Who gets appointed to the Supreme Court is the least of my worries.
