Many years ago we were traveling from IL to IA. In an excited tone I asked my kids if they knew what was in Iowa? They said no, what? I said corn. So as we passed miles and miles of corn fields I told them all the things they used corn for in Iowa. Then I said, you know how they use salt on icy roads in Illinois? The kids said yes. I said, they have so much corn in Iowa that's what they use on icy roads. I had them believing it for awhile.
Then there was the time my youngest wanted to show me a trick he learned in school. His teacher had used a potato to light up a flashlight bulb. My son tried it but it didn't work. I told him he must have a dead potato which was just like a dead battery. I sent him out to my truck to get my potato (multi) meter. He came in with the meter and we checked a few potatoes. Got a decent reading on one and used it to light the flashlight bulb. I told my son to be sure to tell his teacher about using my potato meter to find a good potato to light the flashlight bulb. The next evening I asked him if he had told his teacher about using a potato meter to check the voltage of the potatoes? He replied"I don't want to talk about it dad".
