Dinner Time Fun...

Conversation at the dinner table this evening:

Luke - "We're eating the earth for supper!!"
Dad - "Oh yes? Why do you say that?"
Luke - "Because the cheese layer is the crust, the potato layer is the upper mantle, the corn is the lower mantle and the meat is the core."
Dad - looks at me,eyebrows arched.
Me - shrugging,  "we learned about the earths layers a while back."
Shepherd's Pie in our home is now known as Earth Pie....

And speaking of the dinner table, we have a number of books and resources that we'll sometimes read from during family dinners.  One of them is a favorite.  Its called The Just a Minute Omnibus: Glimpses of our Great Canadian Heritage.  The stories are quite short and just really fascinating historical glimpses into our Canadian history....
