The Sunday Funnies: Did Jackie Evancho swallow a grown-up?

Welcome to another edition of The Sunday Funnies, a regular feature devoted solely to the lighter side of life. This week’s edition features Jackie Evancho, a finalist on America’s Got Talent who caused judge Howie Mandel to ask, “Did you ever swallow a grown-up?" Jackie Evancho sings like a grown-up opera singer, but she’s only ten years old.
