The girls and I dined at Pizza Hut tonight to use the last set of Book-it certificates they earned in the reading program this year. This particular Pizza Hut has assorted Trivial Pursuit question cards in the table-top container normally reserved for packets of sugar and sweetener. Upon getting seated, the girls immediately begin fishing through the box to find all the Young Players Edition cards and they take turns asking questions while we wait for our order.
E2: What is the name of the imaginary line at 0 degrees latitude that goes around the Earth?
E1: Equator
Me: Equator
E2: You're right. Equator.
E3: I guessed Equator too.

I pick E3 to be on my side next time I play Trivial Pursuit ;-).
Those E's are awfully cute.
Chrissie Hynde was in the Pretenders. Christine McVie was in Fleetwood Mac, but I wouldn't have remembered her so I would've guessed Stevie Nicks. Never would've gotten chinchilla, though. Diego and all things Dora are banned in this house (not by me).
Happy Mother's Day, Nancy. I came upon your blog and have been smiling with great memories of the midwest! Give those E's a great big hug from me - and Rob, too! I'll hopefully see you in a few weeks when I'm home!
