Fennel

Jack knows what fennel is. He can pick it out in a supermarket, point to it and call it by its name. I didn't even know what it was. In fact, I still don't. I'm not even sure I've spelt it right. It's a vegetable, yes? I thought it was a herb or something.

The boy's not even 2 and he's already teaching his dad. I wonder how this bodes for the future - maybe I should start his Star Wars and gaming education sooner than I had planned. First off: the original (VHS!) Star Wars then (he's already seen it a couple of times, but he was never awake long enough to see the climactic Death Star battle at that age). Next: either Pong or Breakout.
