You don't talk like a duck - Part 2

I'm back from India and I definitely miss it as I anticipated! And I could use a little less of this jet lag, for SURE!

I talked to my family in India over the phone the other day. The highlight of my conversations was when I talked to my niece, Aarti, who asked, "Devika Didi, where are you calling from?" I think she thought that I may be calling from the moon. I decided to tell her the truth. "Hi, Aarti! I'm calling from the U.S."

And then she says, "Devika Didi, I know you are not an alien!"

So she figured out that I'm actually not from the moon. I think one of her textbooks for school convinced her of this sad fact. I saw that her science textbook said, "Human beings breathe air. Humans need air in order to live and survive. This is why no one can live on the moon."

Stupid textbooks. They leave kids with no room for creativity!!
