I will come over and make a comment, but I probably won't come up with 15 new blogs. Square Peg Guy,

Then I'll categorize my husband & see why our conversations don't always mesh. We were raised the same. Our parents were friends, same church, values, way of life. But we can be given the same info, see the same thing & have entirely different viewpoints about what we just heard & saw. That we had the same family background is good overall.

It also reminds us how schools/society can sometimes limit our thinking. Thanks for coming by. :) Square Peg Guy,

The others are words with two syllables. I'm assuming the bird is a chicken, not necessarily a hen. Similarly, the cow and hay are single syllable words, whereas the rooster (or chicken) is not. I also see the relationship between the cow and hay. But I'd still answer "hay" if I were being tested for a higher salary or some free ice cream. The cow and rooster are both animals, and they're on the menu at every McDonalds in the USA! One example question on an IQ test that was deemed to be "biased" asked which of the following items would you cover a window with. The correct answer was "blind" or "shade" -- I can't remember which. But the answer that was sometimes chosen by inner-city children was "sheet" because they couldn't afford blinds, shades or curtains and used sheets instead. Interesting stuff. <abbr><em>Square Peg Guys last blog post..<a href="http://square--peg.blogspot.com/2009/06/regina-bretts-45-life-lessons-and-5-to.html" rel="nofollow">Regina Brett's 45 life lessons and 5 to grow on</a></em></abbr> The grapes in the cartoon wouldn’t be my first choice, but I think it’s a valid one.
