Baffled by the Weird Name?
|
Bruce and his wife took the kids down to Florida for vacation. Each
morning they would have breakfast out on the deck and every bird within
a five mile radius would join them. Of particular interest to their three year
old son was a White Ibis.
His son referred to it as the big-nose-bird.
Bruce explained to him that it was in fact an Ibis, but he insisted that it
was the big-nose-bird. This reinforced for Bruce, two important points:
A few common words can convey more meaning than one
technically correct word.
You can't win an argument with a three year old. ;-)
We hope you understand why this site is named BigNoseBird.Com.
