They Don't Have Blueberries In China?

Last night, Amanda and I were in the office just blogging away and husband pops in to check and see if we had blogged ourselves to death. I happened to be on a blog that had posted about Kindles and the possibility of actual books becoming obsolete so I mentioned to husband that I was appalled at the thought of not having books and being forced to use a Kindle. Who wants to curl up with a blanket and a good Kindle? Husband, always thinking ahead, says, "we should buy Kindle stock."



While I was thinking that there is no way I would ever spend one dime to support a book annihilator, husband says, "They are sending blueberries over to China." Because I have been married to said husband for 20 years I understood his train of thought....we should buy stock in blueberry farms! Sometimes my head goes one way and husbands goes another. I was thinking about the extinction of books as we know them and he was thinking of stocks. So I said, "We are exporting blueberries to China? They don't grow blueberries in China?"



It was at this moment that Amanda decided to clear things up for her not so technical parents and remarks, "I think he means Blackberries." For a brief moment I thought we were still talking about fruit until I realized that husband got his berries mixed up! Heaven only knows where these conversations will go when she moves out on her own.

  2. Love your site! I agree with you about the books. I can't imagine my life not opening a fresh new book and even a old and smelling ink and paper! Lori
