Don't remember the exact location, but the other day we were heading home from a family outing when Elsie noticed some geese on the side of the road. Not wanting to miss a teachable moment, I asked her, "Hey Elsie, you know what a bunch of cows together is called?"
"Yup - a herd of cows."
"That's Right!... So do you know what they call a bunch of geese together?"
"I don't know..."
"It's called a gaggle.. isn't that funny? A gaggle of geese!"
At this point, she goes on to quiz me on various species in the animal kingdom to see if I knew the correct plural term was.... (which I didn't fare so well with).... then the wheels started turning when she asks me,
"What do they call a bunch of cars together?"
"I'm not sure Elsie... what do they call a bunch of cars together?"
"Traffic."
Tricky little monkey.
