Tonight at supper, I pulled out the card from last night's dinner--the one with:
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8
...on it without ellipses.
I asked my dad, "What is first from last?"
He answered, "One and eight."
Chew on that for a while.
And:
Back to the kid who said the 'last' card (i.e., really the first card, the kettle drums) was the "Duck!"
Explanation: He pointed in full view to the first card. The other kids were saying, "Duck!" (i.e., last card, oboe). I think an logical explanation for his behavior was that "lemming behavior" I wrote about somewhere way above all this nonsense.
Back to my dad. I burst out laughing and said, "Can't wait to tell Faldage what you said!"
He said, "Y'all are way above my head."
