Gary: We got a deal on this RV. It belongs to a friend of my Mom's, and he's letting us use it for next to nothing. Deanna: How nice. A friend of your Mom's, huh? And she told him we'd like to use it? Gary: No, he asked her if she'd like to use it - and she said yes, and guess what else? Deanna: Keep going... Jack: Gramma's going with us! Katie: Cool! Cookies!
Most people don’t know that Canada’s national sport is lacrosse, not hockey. Soccer is not a widely used term, most call it football because it is played with the feet. Riots break out in the stands in soccer, but among the players in hockey. Baseball evolved from rounders, not cricket. Lacrosse originated with tribes on both sides of the St. Lawrence, and there is a variant called stickball played by southeast woodland tribes using two sticks (crosiers?). Both soccer and stickball have been played with the goals in different villages, sometimes with a mountain in between.
