"Over here, Bob! I see protractors down here!"
"Thanks, Mom."
"Here you go."
"That's not a protractor."
"Yes it is."
"No, it actually isn't. It's a compass."
"I know it says that but compass is another word for protractor."
"Mom? You are completely wrong about this. Look. This is a protractor. It even says it on the package. Protractor here - and this one's a compass."
"That's weird. Why would they label that half-round ruler a protractor?'
"Oh my God, Mom. Really?"
Frankly, I can't believe they still use either a compass or a protractor but I'm sort of really glad they do.
ReplyDeleteApparently they do! (Apparently I never did.) xo
