you learn something new everyday.
sometimes things that you should've known before.
TOTALLY should've known before.
yesterday in science class, mrs. scheele was teaching the little ones about physical changes.
we were talking about popcorn... and hypothesizing whether it was a physical or chemical change.
when she was talking about where popcorn comes from, i was astounded to learn it came from corn!
did you know this? i think i'm probably the only one that didn't realize this... ha ha ha...
but i sat there in awe. they take it off the stalk and shuck it then dry it out and shake out the kernels and you can pop them to make pop corn. you'd think with the name "popped corn" i'd catch on... hah!
life just makes so much sense.
i'm glad to be educated now.
ps. americans consume 500,000,000 pounds of popcorn every year! i'm pretty sure a good 1,000 of those pounds happen at grandpa anderson's house :)
Best realization ever! How funny. Lucky you get to be at the small people school and continue to learn!
