Annual Story

The opening line of the eleven o-clock news show on a local channel noted we were about to see a story about "the abuse that a ten-year-old suffered for years."

I don't mean to make light of it, but I'm pretty sure a ten-year-old can only suffer abuse for a year.

Over on another channel, the lead story was about a dog who fell out a window. (He can suffer for a year as well, but it would probably feel like seven years.)

I didn't bother to see what the other main channel had to say.  Probably something about a cat in a tree.
