The Reverend Doctor Vinoski Sweetness is six.
I’ve known for a while that he has a knack for geography. So out of the blue on Saturday I asked him where the temple of Angkor Wat is.
RDVS: “Japan? China? Malaysia? Russia? Kenya?”
Me: “Hold on, you were going good there — stick to Asia.”
RDVS: “Asia?”
Me: “No, I want a country. It’s above Malaysia”
RDVS: “India?”
Me” “Right above Malaysai.”
RDVS: “Java?”
Me: “It begins with a T.”
RDVS: “(Pause.) Thailand?”
Me: Right! (Then I found out today’s it’s actually in Cambodia. Oh, well, another country for the Reverend Doctor to learn about. Of course, he already knows more about geography than I did until I was in my 30s.)
