I was recently told that strawberries aren’t berries by a very knowledgeable adult- so I had to look it up. Turns out Chloe is right. I don’t think many people other than botanists are aware of this, but I thought it was interesting. Oh, and good luck with teenage-hood.
According to http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/berry
“berry: Simple, fleshy fruit that usually has many seeds (e.g., the banana, tomato, or cranberry). The middle and inner layers of the fruit wall often are not distinct from each other. Any small, fleshy fruit is popularly called a berry, especially if it is edible. Raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries are not true berries, but rather aggregate fruits—fruits that consist of multiple smaller fruits. The date is a one-seeded berry whose stone is hard nutritive tissue.”

Love your draft guard idea! I was just saying to my DH that we need to get two of those.

As for the conversation w/ your daughter, I believe they call that foreshadowing. GL with that!!

Great frugal project that could potentially save you tons of money in heating bills.

BTW, I take it Chloe is your daughter. I have a 9 year old that is adamant half-and-half should be labeled correctly. When I first bought it she said, “half and half of what?”.

She didn’t want to take the arguement that everyone knows what it is, just like Kleenex.

LOL. Gotta love em’.

Hmmm, another reason to obtain a sewing machine…
