So the boy and I got to talking about the Great Pyramid of Giza tonight while listening to ragtime music (don't ask for all the steps in between). And when I tried to describe the Great Pyramid to him, with its gigantic blocks and (in ancient times) gleaming marble covering he told me to wait. He had to draw me a picture of a pyramid "everyone knows" so we could compare. A better known pyramid than the Great Pyramid at Giza? Curious what the lad would come up with.
He grabbed his Magna-doodle (a.k.a. Etch-a-Sketch with a pen) and drew... the
Food Pyramid.
Should I be pleased? Amused? Chagrined? I can't even tell.
