the same but different
November 6, 2006
Nine year old boys still learn naughty words in another language, but now that language is Chinese. (As evidenced by the fact that Sam proudly proclaimed he knew how to say ‘Do you like to fart?’ in Chinese.)
Eleven year old boys still leave school projects til the last minute, but instead of consulting the 1965 edition of Encyclopedia Britannica stashed in the basement, they go to Wikipedia. (Which has a very nice map of Saskatchewan, dontcha know, eh?)




I just saw a play yesterday set in Saskatchewan! Ha!
In looking for pics, Saskatchewan seems to look a bit like Michigan. Or Wisconsin.
Favorite (only?) song lyric mentioning Saskatchewan: “I can say Saskatchewan without starting to stutter but I can’t understand why we let someone else rule our land.”
