Dating Myself

Did you know that Kiwi fruit grows on a vine? I didn't. But that's not really my point.

I didn't have an answer. So I said what my parents always said to my brothers and sister and I when we were kids, "Let's go look it up."

Now for the dating myself part, or rather my parents :-)

When we were kids, we had a huge bookshelf full of encyclopedias, a dictionary or two, and a thesaurus. When we went to go look something up we went to the bookshelf.

In our house today I have a vague idea of where a dictionary may be... When I said go look it up I meant online! And that's what Owen and I did!

Are encyclopedias still for sale?
