This morning, my three-year-old son and I took a walk to the small beach near our house. He ran as I chased him around the beach. (That’s what he wanted me to do as always.) He stopped running and squatted down because he found something in the sand. He said, “Look at this.” Actually I wasn’t very sure what he was pointing at, but there were only rocks, shells and seaweed. So, I thought it had to be one of those . I said, “Is it a stone?” He said, “It might be a stone.” I thought it could be a shell. Then my son said, “It may be a daikon radish.” I burst into laughter.

I told this story to my six-year-old daughter to have a good laugh together. She started giggling and said, “Ha ha, daikons grow on a ranch, not on the beach.” That was even funnier to me so I said, “Ha ha ha…it’s not on a ranch. It’s on a farm.” She also laughed at her own mistake.
