The fruit of five syllables, and more fun from the "classroom"
OK... It's Saturday and the girls are playing "school."I can never figure that out. That would be like me coming home from a long day at work and then pretending to call people and interview them and write stories and worry about making a mistake that leads to a correction. I'd rather watch a movie or something.
Why on Earth would kids play school on a Saturday?
If you think that's a difficult question to answer, try this one:
"Can you name the fruit of five syllables?"
That's what 11-year-old "teacher" Kerstin just asked 7-year-old "pupil" Annika. Then Kerstin started a kitchen timer.
That question was part of a TIMED TEST? On a Saturday?!?!
Let's see...
"Ba-na-na?" No, of course not.
"Boy-sen-ber-ry?" No... but getting closer.
"Huck-le-ber-ry?" No. Is that even a real fruit?
I gave up. I finally Googled it.
"Ja-bo-ti-ca-ba!"
I have never heard of it before. It is apparently some sort of plum or something.
How did Kerstin know it?
Maybe I should sit in on her "class" on a Saturday.
