My 5 (almost 6) year old daughter has recently been fascinated by history, especially colonial history and George Washington. She's also a sponge for learning how things are made (she loves watching the Discovery Channel, "How it's made" show). So when I got home from work today, I was treated to her own historical interpretation of how the needy folks in the colonies got their pizzas delivered. Here's how it worked:
The pizza man and the pizza woman have a fireplace outside where they cook the pizzas. When people want pizzas, they send their cat over to the house where the pizza man and woman live to tell them what the people want. They could order pizza with meat or without meat. Then, the pizza man or pizza woman get in their car (apparently the colonists lacked the technology for indoor cooking, yet somehow managed to tinker about in their yards with the internal combustion engine) and deliver the pizza. The pizza that nobody wanted that was left over would be brought to the bad people and they would have to eat it whether they wanted it or not. Oh, and I also needed to be aware that they deliver only to New Jersey and Canada, no other states.
You know, I think we'd all be much healthier, happier people if we could see the world through the eyes of a child. I mean, really, doing all that independance stuff must have been hungry work - they had to get their pizzas from somewhere, right??
Of the North Church tower as a signal light,--
One if for anchovies, and two if extra cheese;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to deliver and sprinkle the parm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to eat pizza." - I think Longfellow would be proud.
