Son One told me about a conversation he had today with a man who came to the bakery where he works to order a cake:
Customer: I’d like to order a cake with a purple border and fuschia roses.
Son One: Sir, I don’t know what fuschia is.
Customer: Well, okay, just make them pink.
This reminded me of the time I taught this boy how to do his taxes and then took him to the post office to mail them. Mom, he says, what are all those boxes in the wall?
He was eighteen years old and had no idea what a post office box was.
What else have I failed to teach my kids?
It’s a worry.

LOL! That’s pretty funny, oh, and sad but true, especially when it comes to boys.
