Tuesday Trivia

Creating these little trivia filled posts have led to a discovery.

I now know why my children are so smart....  and it really has nothing to do at all with what I teach them.

They know things because they read their breakfast cereal packaging.

That's it.

...............SO.......  Did you KNOW????.........................

• The U.S. Coastline ~ Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf ~ involves 25 of the 48 mainland states....  don't believe me?  here is a map.
• There is only one state in the United States named after a president.....  it's my state!  Washington!
• There are approximately 1 million species of animals on the earth.  Of these, approximately 800,00 are insects....  (ewwww!)
• The monarch butterfly can discern tastes 12,000 times more subtle than those perceivable by human taste buds.
• The salt in sea water comes primarily from the fresh water that absorbs salt from the rocks and land before flowing into the sea.

Ya know, reading from these great smelling oatmeal packages, is sort of making me hungry..........
