The Circle of Life

This one goes into the "funny things kids say" category... On Tuesday night we were discussing Veteran's Day at the dinner table with the kids, and Arlington National Cemetary (which we were able to visit last spring) came up in the conversation. Breanne, whose memory is occasionally fuzzy, asked what a cemetary was. Grant, whose memory is excellent but whose vocabularic interpretation is frequently entertaining, piped up, "I know! Cemetary is when both sides of something are the same!"
In fairness to Grant, Arlington DOES invoke a sense of symmetry.
And as a side note, this is something I'd forgotten since it hasn't happened to me in many years, but milk HURTS when it comes out of your nose.
