Remember when my son first came home talking about Christopher Columbus and his voyage and telling me , “did you know they used to think the earth was flat ?” I listened to him chatter on and decided to have some fun . I pulled the chair out at the dinning table and sat down looking dead serious , told him to set down . I don’t know why these teachers keep telling you kids the earth is round , but it’s not . He’s looking at me perplexed . It’s flat , there have been people who have went to far out into the ocean and never seen again . He ask’s what happened to them ? Keeping a complete straight face , well , they fell off the earth . He looks at me and asked what made me believe that , I’m fighting a big grin and continued with more B.S. and starting to have him doubt his teacher . Next day he comes home and serious as a heart attack , dad the earth is not flat . The teacher explained the sun and moon and says she has no ideas why you would say it was flat . I lost it and cracked up . But regrouped and proceeded to make my case , LMAO . He got some kind of mad and I would bug him about it from time to time , it took a while for him to see the humor .
