Misconception Monday

was apparently the theme for the day because my young friends sure had a bunch of them, such as:

• There is now a coin that is worth  $.02.
• We have never gotten nuked in the U.S., but Cuba has.
• Earthquakes swallow the Earth (kind of like a black hole?)
• If I look busy, my teacher will not notice that I have chosen not to do my cursive practice.
• Sunshine = No jacket necessary on the playground.
• Directions are for the birds.
