Did Ya Know?
by KJ Hannah Greenberg
Mom, did ya know I dont like red-edged lettuce? Why couldnt you buy the all green type?
Maybe next time. Please keep chopping.
Did ya know that flamingos can only eat when their heads are upside down because of how their beaks point?
When youre done, please slice some cucumbers.
I dont like my vegetables mixed up! Ya know, right? And, did ya know that some people use pokeweed as medicine?
Its poison.
I know, but I read that...
Dont touch it! Dont eat it!
Okay. Did ya know that spacesuits are like diving suits?
No. Thats enough cucumbers. Thanks! Itd be impossible to get dinner ready without your help.
I know. Buy me a DSLR?
?
A digital single-lens reflex camera.
Why?
As a prize for kitchen helping.
Why not chocolate or a subscription to Science Weekly?
Theyre magic with light reflection.
?
I can use that camera for optics experiments.
?
Physics. Eventually, Ill get to take it.
But todays not that day. How bout two tickets to Adventure Park? You can invite Doni.
Whatever. You dont really seem to care about my research.
Got me. Next week, I hope to harvest the tomatoes. The gardens such a pleasure. Therell be a bumper crop. I think we can make sauce.
Did ya know that tomatoes are nightshades and that some nightshades are lethal? They make pokeweed laughable.
Are you and Doni still friends?
Yup.
So?
I guess tickets would be okay. Maybe, youll get me the camera for my birthday?
Maybe.
Can Doni help with the canning?
Sure.
Did ya know that two hundred and forty-five people died last year from canning-caused botulism?
