My sister-in-law, ever the teacher, saw some children catching blue crabs from our bridge. Walking over, she engaged them in conversation and taught them a bit about the crabs, in particular how to tell the males from the females. One of the children, a ten-year-old from the District of Columbia, caught on right away:
Oh! One is the Monument and the other the Capitol!
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
