Danny is giving me a geography lesson combined with a weather report. I thought that was kind of cute considering he's only seen broadcast television a few times (mostly when we were staying in the hotel after the tornado) and I guess the Weather Channel stuck in his mind (wonder why).
What I didn't expect was Danny being able to name the towns correctly, including the obscure ones on Cape Breton Island. That's what you get for buying a kid educational placemats.
"Mama, the weather in Antigonish is cloudy and it is partly...no...always damp in Halifax but it is a beautiful weather day in Truro where they have lobsters which are a kind of fish and seagulls which are a kind of bird but nobody really eats them. Mama? Mama are you listening because they have warnings for hail in Chester and...do they have interior rooms in Chester like storm cellars or a bathroom shelter without windows? Mama? Mama, it is a nice place to grow peppers in your yard unless it rains. Mama? Mama? The man on my phone told me it is OK if you have a lobster living in your yard. I have a lobster problem and have to grow some peppers.It is snowing in the bay of Monday...funday...Fundy! Fundy! And it snows on the lobsters. Mama? Mama...this is a very important lobster emergency and we have to go to an interior room...they said so on the radio. Mama? Mama? Are you paying attention?"
