A real conversation around the dinner table:
D: I can hardly wait to pick our corn. I love corn! This is going to be so good!
P: Yup! I'm gonna want to eat it everyday.
me: Guys, I don't know how well our corn is actually doing. I mean it's not very tall. I think that it's supposed to be much taller.
D: Well, I saw a corn cob growing on it, so I think it will be fine.
me: Well, I've heard a saying that corn is supposed to be "Knee high by the fourth of July." Ours wasn't even close to being that tall on the fourth of July.
P: What?! Yes it was! It was totally knee high if you stood in a hole.
The Girl and I: (Blank stares)
I still am not sure how to respond. Clearly logic has left the building.
