Pyramids of Discovery
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.

No, yes and maybe. 1-He'll learn how to eat from his parents. 2-He's got a mind that makes connections. 3-Let's hope that he doesn't everything that he learns in school too seriously.

Well, if he'd also indicated what wine went with each food group then I think you could, without question, be very proud.
