Hmm...

On Wednesday, I accompanied two classes on a field trip to the Bronx Zoo. This field trip, like all of the others, proved to be equally as fun. We neared the end of day exhausted, hungry, and surrounded by 14 tiny ones who eagerly scoped out the last exhibit.

One kindergartner asked, “What are these animals called?”

The first teacher, a native of Houston, said “Bison (BYE-SON).”

The second teacher, originally from Jamaica, said “Bison (BEE-SON).”

“Well, speech teacher,” said the first teacher. “What is this animal called in Kentucky?”

“Dinner,” I replied.

I'm ashamed to say that I have had a bison burger and steak. It was not as tasty as usda prime beef.
