Knowing Where You Came From
While doing school today, Andy was working on a sequence worksheet. It sort of had an agriculture theme. Apples go from the tree, to the store, to your house and into a pie… that sort of thing.
One row showed eggs. “Andy, where do the eggs come from?*” I asked.
While he was pointing at the drawing of a chicken, Connor piped up from nearby and said, “The ‘Frigerator!”
Apparently, we’re a bunch of city slickers.
* Please Note: I was an English Writing major in college. I do know that the correct question is “From where did the egg come?” But come on… does anyone really say that? For that matter, change the title to be “Knowing From Whence You Came…” Still sounds weird, huh? Perhaps I should just go ahead and be correct, but I’m appealing to the masses here, people.
