I had a wonderful weekend with my twins and future son-in-law.
It's maple tree tapping time out here in the boondocks. Everywhere you look you see maple trees being tapped, tubes a'flowin' and 5 gallon water jugs filled with sap.
My daughter asked me what was going on with all the plastic tubes and water jugs all over this town and I explained that my neighbors are getting ready to make maple syrup.
"Oh, well what kind of trees are those?", she asked pointing to the trees being tapped.
"Sugar maple trees.", I replied.
"But I thought you got maple syrup from pine trees.", she said. She thought for a second or two and then realized something.
"Oh yeah, maple syrup....maple trees", she said.
My 28 year old daughter makes me crack up...and she's not even a blonde.

Definitely a city girl! Too funny!
Very cute! Sometimes it's too easy and just doesn't seem to register. hee hee
Funny! How I miss seeing the sugar maples in the fall! I tried to get my kids to switch to real maple syrup for their pancakes. No way! They wanted their fake stuff back and pronto.
Too funny - a city girl after my own heart.
i once had a friend ask me where pop corn came from....i repeated the word "pop corn" with emphisis on CORN lol
Funny. I have never heard of that either.
That sounds like something I'd say because I do a lot of speaking before my brain catches up. LOL Thanks for the laugh.
So funny! I would like to sneak a cup under one of those spouts!!
