It's a Romer thing, apple-parently

Several weeks ago, my daughter (who is three years old) asked where we going one morning. I told her that we were headed to Bible Study, but I guess I didn't enunciate properly, because she got this big grin and said, "APPLE study? Yummy!!" She was really quite disappointed when I corrected her (although we did bring applesauce for a snack).

I thought that was just her cute little three-year-old brain substituting a more familiar word for a less familiar word, until this morning. I was on my way to Mass (and, yes, that IS a capital "M" - little "m" mass is a metric unit; big "M" Mass is the Lord's Sacrifice re-presented for the faithful.... but I digress), and I stopped at a red light next to a truck. I saw the lettering on the side and thought, "Well, there's someone who has found an industry niche - 'Apple Warehouse.' Oh, wait! That's 'APPLIANCE Warehouse' - oops!!"

So, it must be a Romer thing, this apple fixation that we have. Hmmmm..
